High speed steel (HSS) cutting tools refer to various mechanical equipment used for milling, tapping, drilling, cutting, shaping, grinding, boring and casting steel products. Some of the commonly used HSS cutting tools include drill bits, solid boring bars, chasers, counterbores, countersinks, extractors, knurls, saw blades, taps and end mills. In comparison to their traditional counterparts, HSS cutting tools use particle metallurgy, have improved design, operate at a high cutting speed, can function under extreme temperatures and are resistant to corrosion and wear and tear. As a result, they find extensive applications across various industries, such as oil & gas, automotive, marine, aerospace, defense and energy and power.
