tungsten steel
Noun: A very hard, heat-resistant type of alloy steel containing a significant percentage of tungsten as a primary alloying element. This addition imparts superior hardness, strength, and the ability to retain these properties at high temperatures.
"Tungsten steel" is used as a compound noun to specify a category of steel. It is typically used in technical, industrial, and metallurgical contexts. * The cutting tools are made from tungsten steel for durability. * This application requires the wear resistance of tungsten steel.
- Tungsten steel is often used in high-speed machining tools.
- The drill bits are manufactured from a special grade of tungsten steel.
- Compared to standard carbon steel, tungsten steel maintains its edge much longer.
- The term is sometimes used interchangeably with "high-speed steel" (HSS) in general contexts, though not all HSS grades are tungsten-based.
- It can be specified in material standards and purchase orders (e.g., "Please supply tungsten steel rod, grade T1").
- High-speed steel (HSS): A common category of tool steel that often contains tungsten, known for its ability to cut at high speeds.
- Wolfram steel: An older or alternative name using "wolfram," the German-derived name for the element tungsten.
- Tool steel: A broader category of carbon and alloy steels suitable for making tools, which includes tungsten steel.
- High-speed steel (context-dependent)
- Tool steel (broader category)
The term specifically denotes the material itself, not objects made from it. The primary defining characteristic is its composition (containing tungsten), which results in the properties of extreme hardness and heat resistance.
- a very hard heat-resistant steel containing tungsten
