ASP 23 High Speed Steel


ASP 23 is a high-speed tool steel containing a combination of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium. It is know for its wear resistance, high compressive strength, toughness, and its ability to maintain stability when heat-treated.

ASP 23 is often used in thin blades, especially where abrasive or a combination of abrasive and adhesive wear is encountered.
