Heat Treatment Guide & Properties

T15 high speed steel is typically hardened and tempered to achieve maximum wear resistance and hot hardness. Multiple tempering cycles are recommended to stabilize the microstructure and achieve optimal cutting tool performance.

🔥

Soft Annealing

820°C – 860°C

Slow furnace cooling to achieve machinable structure.

🔥

Hardening

1190°C – 1240°C

Oil, air, or salt bath quenching depending on section size.

🔥

Tempering

540°C – 580°C

Usually triple tempering to achieve 65-67 HRC hardness.

The excellent cutting performance of T15 high speed steel comes from its high carbon and alloying elements including tungsten, vanadium, chromium, and cobalt. Tungsten improves hot hardness and red hardness, vanadium forms extremely hard carbides that increase wear resistance, chromium improves hardenability, and cobalt enhances high temperature strength. This combination makes T15 one of the most wear-resistant high speed steels used in demanding machining operations.
