Momax Material Question

Aug 09, 2005 1 Replies

I have a print from a customer where the material is called out to be Momax.



Is anyone familiar with this material? I have found Momax Cobalt and Cleveland Momax when I do a search on Yahoo, but I have had no luck actually determining what this material is and if there is a suitable substitute.



Thanks for any help.


It's a high speed tool steel, often seen in the form of lathe tool bits. Kennametal has taken over Cleveland Twist Drill, perhaps they can help. I'm going to guess that it's similar to M-42, which is a cobalt high speed steel.
