High-Speed Steel (STUPR/STFPR) is a high-performance tool steel widely used in industry, particularly for manufacturing cutting tools that must endure high speeds and elevated temperatures. Its unique alloy composition (e.g., tungsten, molybdenum) provides exceptional red hardness, allowing it to maintain high hardness even above 600°C. Additionally, its wear resistance and toughness make it an ideal material for tools such as drill bits, taps, saw blades, and milling cutters. The STUPR/STFPR series of HSS is typically subjected to quenching and tempering to optimize its mechanical properties, making it suitable for heavy-duty machining and precision manufacturing applications.
