High speed steel (HSS) : These are special alloy steel which are obtained by alloying tungsten, Chromium, Vanadium, Cobalt and molybdenum with steel.

HSS has high hot hardness, wear resistance and 3 to 4 times higher cutting speed as compare to carbon steel. Most commonly used HSS have following compositions.

A) 18-4-1 HSS i.e. 18% tungsten, 4% chromium, 1% vanadium with a carbon content of 0.6-0.7%. If vanadium is 2% it becomes 18-4-2 HSS.

B) Cobalt high speed steel: This is also referred to as super high speed steel. Cobalt is added 2 " 15%. The most common composition is tungsten 20%, 4% chromium, 2% vanadium and 12% cobalt.

C) Molybdenum high speed steel: It contains 6% tungsten, 6% molybdenum, 4% chromium and 2% vanadium.
