Aiman Metals, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia is a well-known industrial metal product manufacturer and supplier of high-quality products to various industries with reliability and precision. Of its vast array of products, High-Speed Steel (HSS) T4 Bars find special value as superior hardness, lengthy life span, and enhanced wear resistance. Renowned for steady performance in hot cutting operations, T4 Bars are a reliable option for heavy-duty machining and manufacturing requirements. With a patient focus on customer satisfaction and timely delivery, Aiman Metals supplies industries like engineering, automotive, aerospace, and tool making with materials that guarantee efficiency and durability.
High-Speed Steel T4 Bars consist chiefly of 18–22% Tungsten, 4–5% Chromium, and 1–2% Molybdenum, with 1.75–2.25% Vanadium, 0.70–0.80% Carbon, and 0.30–0.50% Manganese. This makes them provide excellent wear resistance, edge retention, and stability under severe cutting conditions. Mechanically, T4 Bars generally have a Rockwell hardness of 62–64 HRC, along with good toughness and thermal strength. Their excellent impact resistance and hardness at high temperatures make them particularly appropriate for precision tool making, machining, and heavy industry work, with long life and stable performance in hostile environments.

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 commonly utilized for the manufacture of precision cutting tools on account of their hardness, abrasion resistance, and longevity. They are widely used to manufacture drill bits, taps, milling cutters, reamers, and tool bits for machining steels and other hard materials. T4 is utilized in manufacturing punches, dies, and molds for the automotive, aerospace, and machinery industries. Its higher toughness and wear resistance enable it to endure high temperatures and loads during machining. With lasting edge sharpness and stability, T4 Bars provide efficiency, productivity, and consistency in high-speed cutting and forming operations.
