Its flexural strength (TRS) is typically above 3,000 MPa, and some grades can even exceed 4,000 MPa. This makes the material resistant to fracture when subjected to high cutting forces and gives it a certain degree of impact toughness.
Extremely high hardness and wear resistance:
Hardness ranges from HRA 86.5 to 94.0, and wear resistance far exceeds that of conventional tool steel. This means that cutting tools made from this material have a longer service life and are capable of handling high-volume, high-precision machining tasks.
