High Speed Steel (HSS) Metal Cutting Tools - A World Market Analysis

High Speed Steel (HSS) Metal Cutting Tools - A World Market Analysis published by BizAcumen, Inc. in November, 2009. This report consists of Pages: 97 and the price starts from US $ 2995.

Introduction

Abstract

High Speed Steel (HSS) cutting tools are an economical alternative for tool toughness critical applications. HSS toolmakers are making efforts to save and enlarge their market share through the use of Powder Metallurgy materials and advanced coatings. HSS' sustained viability can be primarily attributed to the introduction of particle or powder metallurgy (P/M), the greatest single advancement in HSS technology. HSS cutting tools made through powder metallurgy (P/M) have higher wear resistance and are harder and tougher as against conventional HSS. Consequently, in specific applications, HSS has been able to retain its market share as well as regained lost share from tungsten carbide.

These and other market data and trends are presented in "High Speed Steel (HSS) Metal Cutting Tools: A World Market Analysis" by BizAcumen, Inc. Our reports are designed to be most comprehensive in geographic coverage and vertical market analyses.
