Brian Fasteners, headquartered in Houston, USA, supplies a complete range of High Speed Steel (HSS) Bars. These include T1, M2, M35, T15, T4, T42, and more, covering a broad spectrum of durability, wear resistance, and red hardness. Produced through vacuum or powder metallurgy processes with strict grade control, each bar meets exacting standards. Used in automotive, aerospace, and tooling sectors, Brian Fasteners provides custom sizing, quick delivery, and metallurgical certification to support toolmakers in selecting the right HSS for each application.
HSS grades contain approximately 0.7 to 1.2% carbon, 4 to 6% chromium, 1 to 5% vanadium, and various amounts of tungsten, molybdenum, and cobalt, depending on the grade. Hardened bars offer tensile strengths of 2,200 to 3,000 MPa and hardness reaching 68 HRC. Red hardness ranges from 600 to 650 °C in premium grades. Wear resistance, toughness, and machinability vary by alloy, providing options for a wide range of tool-making needs.
High-speed steel (HSS) bars are sized based on their cross-sectional dimensions (diameter for round bars, width/thickness for flats, or side length for square bars) and overall length. Standard sizes often follow industry specifications (e.g., ASTM, DIN) and are available in a range of diameters (e.g., 3mm to 200mm or more) and lengths (commonly 1-6 meters). Custom sizes can also be produced based on application needs.
Consider grade, hardness, toughness, heat resistance, tensile strength, dimensional accuracy, machinability, application-specific needs, corrosion resistance, surface finish, cost-effectiveness, supplier reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
Store high-speed steel bars in a dry, ventilated area, away from moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures. Use racks or pallets to prevent deformation, and apply protective coatings to avoid corrosion.
Brian Fasteners’ HSS bars are used for machining drills, taps, end mills, saw blades, reamers, broaches, and tool inserts. High-performance alloys are employed in aerospace, die-making, and automotive tooling. Entry-level grades suit general machining. With full traceability and predictable mechanical properties, Brian Fasteners supports precision tool production across industrial sectors.






We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
