Brian Fasteners, based in Houston, USA, supplies High Speed Steel M35 Bars renowned for excellent red hardness and abrasion resistance. Made through powder metallurgy and hot extrusion, M35 bars maintain tight dimensional control and fine microstructure. Used for drills, taps, and reamers that require cobalt-enhanced performance, these bars come in custom sizes with quick lead times. Brian Fasteners provides technical support and metallurgical certification for toolmakers looking for reliable, high-temperature cutting tool material.
HSS M35 contains roughly 0.85% carbon, 4% chromium, 5% vanadium, 5% molybdenum, 5% tungsten, and 5% cobalt. After hardening, tensile strength is about 2,500 MPa and hardness reaches 67 HRC. The alloy retains red hardness up to 600 °C with high abrasion resistance due to cobalt, making it suitable for high-performance cutting tools.

Yes, High-Speed Steel M35 can be welded, but it requires careful control of heat and preheating. Post-weld heat treatment is often necessary to restore its hardness and performance.
Yes, High-Speed Steel M35 bars can be customized in terms of dimensions, shape, and surface finish. Machining and heat treatment processes can also be tailored to meet specific performance requirements.
High-Speed Steel M35 bars should be stored in a dry, cool environment, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. They should be kept on racks to prevent contact with corrosive materials.
M35 bars are perfect for high-speed drills, taps, milling cutters, reamers, and circular saw blades used in aerospace and automotive manufacturing. With superior abrasion resistance and thermal stability, M35 extends tool life in challenging machining operations. Brian Fasteners supports precision tool production with M35 bars to ensure consistent performance under heavy-duty cutting conditions.
