Abstract
High-speed steels made by powder and traditional metallurgical technology have been investigated. These steels are used for manufacturing of metalworking tools. Powder high-speed steels have a large safety margin and a high level of mechanical properties. Mechanical properties and the structure of steels S390 MICROCLEAN® and Fe-9%W-4%Mo-8%Co were compared after their hardening heat treatment. The composition of the carbides was determined by x-ray phase analysis. Residual stresses of the finished cutters were determined. It was shown that the mechanical properties of steels have been determined by the phase composition and the degree of carbides dispersion. The dependence of the microstructure and the high-speed steels phase composition on heat treatment conditions was identified. The conclusion about structure control effectiveness in the adjustment of heat treatment conditions of high speed steels was made.
