A type of tool steel, with high temperature and hardness properties, generally used for tooling parts such as drill bits and cutting tools. Named for its ability to cut quickly, high speed steel (HSS) can contain various combinations of alloys including molybdenum and tungsten to name a couple. Heat treatment and thermal spray coatings are also used to improve the hardness and abrasion resistance of high speed steel.
