Semih Metals, located in Istanbul, Turkey, stands out as a top manufacturer and supplier of M2 Steel Bars and Rods, delivering high-quality high-speed steel solutions tailored for tough cutting and tooling tasks. M2 Steel, known for its high-speed capabilities, is celebrated for its remarkable hardness, wear resistance, and red-hardness, which allows it to maintain its strength even at elevated temperatures. At Semih Metals, they prioritize precise manufacturing, rigorous quality control, and adherence to international standards, offering M2 Steel Bars and Rods in a variety of sizes and specifications. Their products are a go-to choice for industries that demand robust, high-performance materials for cutting, drilling, and machining.
The composition of M2 Steel Bars and Rods includes carbon (0.85–0.95%), tungsten (6.0–6.5%), molybdenum (5.0–5.5%), chromium (4.0%), vanadium (2.0%), and cobalt (1.75%). This unique blend results in outstanding hardness, wear resistance, and red-hardness, making M2 perfect for high-speed cutting tools. On the mechanical side, M2 Steel boasts a tensile strength of 2000–2400 MPa, hardness levels in the HRC 62–65 range when fully hardened, and good toughness for tool applications. Its impressive dimensional stability and resistance to softening at high temperatures guarantee long-lasting performance, even under demanding machining conditions.

Yes, M2 steel can be welded, but it requires preheating and post-weld heat treatment to prevent cracking and ensure good weld strength due to its high hardness and wear resistance.
M2 steel rods are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1/16" to 3" in diameter. Common finishes include bright, polished, and cold-drawn for enhanced surface quality and performance.
M2 steel bars are typically sized by diameter and length, with standard diameters ranging from 6 mm to 100 mm. Lengths usually vary from 3 meters to 6 meters.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods are widely utilized in creating cutting tools, drill bits, taps, milling cutters, and broaches. They also play a crucial role in dies, punches, and gear cutting tools, where high wear resistance and precision are essential. The alloy’s ability to maintain hardness at high temperatures makes it ideal for high-speed machining and heavy-duty tooling tasks. Furthermore, M2 Steel is employed in the aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing sectors, where high-performance tool steels are vital for efficiency, accuracy, and durability.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
