Houston, USA-based George Metals is a well-known manufacturer and supplier of M2 Steel Bars and Rods offering high-speed tool steel products optimized for excellent wear resistance, hardness, and toughness. Praised for precise manufacturing and compliance with ASTM A600 standards, George Metals offers M2 steel in various sizes and conditions such as annealed and hardened. These bars and rods are widely used in the toolmaking, automotive, and aerospace industries. George Metals is a trusted source of high-performance tool steel engineered to meet exacting industrial requirements with customizable dimensions, quick turnaround times, and reliable technical support.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods are made up of high carbon and high alloy content, comprising of about 0.85% carbon, 6.0% tungsten, 5.0% molybdenum, 4.0% chromium, 2.0% vanadium, and the balance iron. This alloy imparts M2 its outstanding hardness, which is normally around 62–65 HRC after heat treatment. It possesses more than 2,000 MPa tensile strength, with outstanding wear resistance, red hardness (preserves hardness at elevated temperatures), and fair toughness. M2 steel is extensively applied to cutting tools due to its capacity to resist extreme working conditions and can be ground to a high polish.
