Crucible REX M4 is a special-purpose high-speed tool steel that is designed to provide high wear resistance in tools. Its high vanadium and carbon content provides superior resistance to cratering and wear in cold work punches, die inserts, and cutting applications involving high speed and light cuts. It is designed to give maximum performance while working with abrasive materials, exhibiting better wear resistance than Types M2 or M3. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-812. Producer or source: Crucible Industries LLC.

For demanding applications in industry, alloys have been custom crafted by powder metallurgy as systems for wear or wear/corrosion resistance. CPM 10V and 9V tool steels provide excellent wear resistance, and CPM 440 V, MPL-1, and CPM-M4 are used when superior corrosion resistance and excellent wear resistance are required This datasheet provides information on composition and hardness as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on corrosion and wear resistance. Filing Code: TS-517. Producer or source: Crucible Materials Corporation.

Crucible CPM Rex 54 HS is a cobalt-bearing high speed tool steel that is produced by the proprietary Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process. It combines the wear properties of the popular high vanadium M4 grade with the red hardness of the cobalt-bearing M35/Crucible CPM Rex 45 HS grades. Crucible CPM Rex 54 HS may be used as an upgrade for improved red hardness over M3 or M4 without giving up the abrasion resistance, or as an upgrade for improved wear resistance over M35 or Crucible CPM Rex 45 HS without giving up the red hardness. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, microstructure, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as heat treating and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-818. Producer or source: Crucible Industries LLC.

Crucible CPM Rex M4 HC (HS) is a high-vanadium high-speed tool steel made by the Crucible particle metallurgy (CPM) process. This higher-carbon modification of M4 (See Alloy Digest TS-264, November 1973) has high hardening. It also comes with a high-sulfur modification for large cross-section pieces to ease machinability. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-639. Producer or source: Crucible Service Centers Divisional Headquarters.
