Z-M48 PM is a Powder Metallurgy Super High Speed Steel, designed to offer exceptional performance in terms of wear resistance, hardness and toughness.
Thanks to its advanced composition and the presence of cobalt (8.5%), this steel guarantees:
✔ Extreme hardness up to 69 HRc for long-lasting sharpness
✔ Superior resistance to wear and compression
✔ Excellent dimensional stability in heat treatments
✔ Excellent workability and grindability compared to traditional HSS steels
✔ Alternative to carbide when toughness is critical
The Z-M48 PM is ideal for tools subject to harsh cutting conditions and for processing difficult materials, where maximum durability and precision are required.
Main applications
✔ Cylindrical cutters and hobs
✔ High precision broaches and cutting tools
✔ Gears subjected to heavy wear
✔ Molds for powder compaction and forming rollers
✔ Punches and dies for cold working
If you are looking for a high-performance steel with superior durability and reliability, Z-M48 PM® is the perfect solution to tackle the most demanding challenges in the world of advanced machining.
