Supplying industries like automotive, aerospace, die and mould-making, and general engineering, Kanish Metals adheres to precision, quality, and timely delivery in the UAE and export markets.
High Speed Steel T4 has approximately 1.3% carbon, 18% tungsten, 4% chromium, 1.2% vanadium, and trace amounts of other alloying elements. The high tungsten content provides T4 with greater hardness and resistance to softening at elevated temperatures. Upon heat treatment, T4 bars have a hardness level of about 64–66 HRC and hold their cutting edge even upon thermal and mechanical stress. Although less tough compared to cobalt-containing grades, T4 is very resistant to abrasion and can be used for cutting operations on material with medium hardness.

High Speed Steel T4 bars are sized by diameter and length, typically ranging from 1/4" to 10" in diameter, with standard lengths of 12 to 20 feet, depending on manufacturer specifications.
High Speed Steel T4 bars and rods are manufactured through alloying, melting, forging, and heat treatment processes, followed by precision machining to achieve desired hardness, strength, and dimensional accuracy for industrial use.
High-speed steel T4 bars should be stored in a dry, clean environment, protected from moisture and corrosion. Store them on flat, secure surfaces to prevent deformation or damage.
High Speed Steel T4 Bars are extensively used in tooling operations that require long edge sharpness and wear resistance. Typical applications are twist drills, taps, end mills, broaches, saw blades, and reamers. T4 is well suited for machining alloy steel, carbon steel, and other less challenging-to-machine materials where high hardness and toughness are necessary. It is applicable to cold work tools as well as cutting operations involving continuous or interrupted cuts. T4 bars provide a good balance of hardness and performance, with reliability and efficiency in most precision cutting situations.
