M42 high speed steel is a type of tool steel that is typically used for cutting tools and drill bits. It is known for its high wear resistance and toughness, making it suitable for machining tough materials such as stainless steel and high-temperature alloys. M42 high speed steel contains a combination of tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt, and vanadium, which imparts its excellent properties.
