Description

Steel R18 applies: cutters, drills, mills, thread milling cutters, shaper cutters, reamers, core drills, taps, broaches for processing of structural steels with strength up to 1000 MPa, which are required to save cutting properties when heated during operation up to +600 °C.

Note

The steel has a reduced tendency to overheat during hardening.
