Spray Forming PM23 High-Speed Steel (1.3344 / SKH53)

Spray Forming PM23 High-Speed Steel (1.3344 / SKH53)

Spray Forming PM23 (ASP2023) High-Speed Steel is a high-performance tool steel designed for applications requiring superior wear resistance, toughness, and thermal stability. Produced using advanced spray forming technology, this steel features a fine-grain microstructure and uniformly distributed granular carbides, offering remarkable cutting performance and tool longevity.

Compared to conventional PM23, Spray Forming PM23 enhances key properties, including hardness stability, wear resistance, and toughness, with a notable improvement in thermal stability due to the addition of cobalt. These attributes make Spray Forming PM23 an ideal solution for heavy-duty cutting, high-temperature applications, and extreme operational conditions.

Why Choose Spray Forming High-Speed Steel?

1. A Material Between Conventional HSS and Powder Metallurgy HSS

Strictly speaking, Spray Forming Steel belongs to the powder metallurgy family, but it represents a distinct manufacturing process. It combines the advantages of traditional high-speed steel (HSS) and powder metallurgy HSS, providing an optimal balance of performance and cost-efficiency.

2. Cost-Effective Alternative to Powder Metallurgy Steel

Powder metallurgy high-speed steel can be cost-prohibitive for some applications. Spray forming HSS offers similar tool life and durability while being more affordable, allowing you to reduce material costs and improve overall production efficiency.

3. Upgrade from Conventional Imported Tool Steels

If you’re using traditional high-speed steel imported from Europe or Japan, consider switching to Spray Forming HSS. It delivers better performance, competitive quality, and improved value while helping you cut costs without compromising tool reliability.

Product Advantages Of Spray Forming Steel

  • Fine grain structure and uniform carbide distribution improve wear resistance and edge stability.

  • Inhibits macrosegregation of alloying elements, ensuring uniform material properties.

  • Superior strength and toughness post-heat treatment, far surpassing the performance of high-quality electroslag steels.

  • Close tool life to powder metallurgy steels, while offering better cost efficiency.

  • Provides a perfect alternative to imported electroslag remelting materials with better quality at the same price.

Priniple of Spray Forming

  • First, the raw materials are heated into molten metal, and then gas atomized.

  • Under the action of the gas jet, the droplets are accelerated to fly and rapidly cooled.

  • When the high-speed flying droplets collide in the precipitator, the spherical particles are impacted. It becomes flat to form a sputtering sheet.

  • The particles solidify rapidly through the cooling effect of the precipitator, and accumulate and form under the action of self- fluxing.

Spray Forming HSS PM23 Heat Treatment Process

Annealing

Softens the steel to about HB 255, relieving internal stress and improving machinability before hardening.

Quenching

Heat to 1150–1180°C, followed by rapid cooling to obtain high hardness and excellent wear resistance.

Tempering

Temper at 550–570°C after quenching to balance hardness and toughness. The final hardness reaches 63-66 HRC.
