Kanish Metals is a trusted producer and exporter of High Speed Steel T1 Bars, with its headquarters in Dubai, UAE, offering high-performance tool steel products renowned for their outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and retention of cutting edges. T1 is a tungsten-contained high speed steel that provides outstanding cutting performance and red hardness, making it the most suitable for precision tooling and machining. Kanish Metals provides T1 bars of different sizes and specifications, prepared to international standards. Emphasizing quality, customization, and delivery on time, Kanish Metals supplies tooling, engineering, and manufacturing companies in the UAE and overseas.
High Speed Steel T1 has approximately 0.75% of carbon, 18% tungsten, 4% chromium, 1% vanadium, with the rest being iron. The high tungsten content imparts T1 excellent hot hardness and wear resistance. It resists deformation and retains hardness even at high temperatures, to the extent of 63–66 HRC after heat treatment. T1 steel has good toughness and stability that enable it to hold a sharp cutting edge when high-speed cutting. It has good performance in dry cutting environments and supports stable tool life in heavy loads and thermal stress.

Yes, High-Speed Steel T1 bars can be welded, but it requires specialized techniques like preheating and post-weld heat treatment to prevent cracking and maintain their hardness and strength properties.
High-Speed Steel T1 bars resist corrosion due to the presence of chromium, which forms a protective oxide layer on the surface. This enhances their resistance to moisture and chemical wear, prolonging tool life.
High Speed Steel T1 Bars find universal applications in operations that require high resistance to wear and cutting accuracy. Typical applications are twist drills, milling cutters, reamers, taps, broaches, saw blades, and lathe tools. T1 is particularly recommended for machining softer materials like carbon steel and low-alloy steels. It also finds applications in cold forming tools and punches where dimensional stability and retention of cutting edge are critical. T1 bars offer consistent performance for metalwork and general engineering use, with a cheap and long-lasting option for high-speed cutting tools.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
