Frequently Asked Questions...
why we can use high speed steel tool in lathe machine?
Answer:
Why DO we use HS steel in lathes and mills? It's cheap and works great. HSS will work on interrupted cuts where carbide or ceramic would just shatter. Carbide is now used wherever it can be, because it is much harder and lasts longer on production jobs. Your speeds and feeds are much faster with carbide also, so your production rate is quite a bit more than HSS. No need to sharpen the carbide, just recycle the old insert and stick another new in the tool holder - bing, you're back in production.
HSS cutters are generally sharpened & reused...many times, in fact.
How DOES HSS tooling work? It allows you to hold an edge at high cutting temperatures. Been around for over 100 years. It still has it's place in the world of machining. Carbide is very expensive, but it gives you the advantages outlined above. HSS you'll find used a lot in tool rooms to make other tools and fixtures. Almost all broaches are still made out of HSS.

Blacksmithing : Thermal Cycling of Tool Steel
Damascus Steel comes out of the Middle East
Damascus steel swords would have been made around Damascus, Syria around 900AD to 1750AD. It is a type or steel alloy that gives great flexibly and great strength. The first to come across this awesome sword was the Crusaders, and it gained a instant reputation. It is said that a Damascus steel blade could cut a piece of silk in half as it fell to the ground, but could still chop through normal blades, and rock and still hold its sharp edge. No doubt if you could get your hands on one of these great swords would be a dream come true but to stand on the other side of one would be a nightmare.
Even though the recipe is lost to history the term Damascus Is a steel that has a very visible patter or grain in the steel. this also can have or not have texture to it. Now Damascus steel is lamination of folded steel, then grinded and polished with the idea of showing the layers. Real Damascus patters are made when traces of carbon form visible patterns or swirls in the steel, these elements change as the steel is forged making the patters that people find fascinating and well very beautiful.
There are several other ways of making steel with patterns in them. One of them is just Wootz steel. Wootz steel is often sold as Damascus steel . watered steel is another steel that makes patters in it. Witch is a steel that is made in Japan. Damascus, Wootz, and Watered steel are the most common ways to make steel with patterns in them today. The way that Damascus steel is made today is by taking to tool steels, one high in nickel and the other a more grey steel so create the dark and light in the steel. Then when hammering the steel twisting it to make the lines or stripes in the steel. Only a very skilled Sword smith can mimic the designs that are found in the original Damascus steel. Another was to mimic the steel is to fold wire though the steel.
One of the properties of Damascus steel is that it was very hard and strong, but at the same time very flexible witch would have been a huge advantage over other swords of the time. One way that this is thought to have been achieved is alternating hard bands of iron with softer more flexible bands of iron giving you the best of both worlds. Another thought is that they where made with a small amount of vanadium. This might have been what gave Damascus steel its amazing strength. Now how it got the name Damascus still is some what of a mystery. Most people would think that the reason that they are called Damascus is that that is where they are made. There is a though that they might be named after that man that first made them. It is thought that the man that first made the Damascus steel is in faced named Damashqu, and that is where they got there legendary name. This steel was originally made using ore from a mine. This ore had a certain chemical composition, and well for lack of a better word this mine was mind tell it was empty, so they just ran out of the material used to make the steel. To attempt to artificially create this chemical composition would be very difficult.
Damascus steel swords would have been made around Damascus, Syria around 900AD to 1750AD. It is a type or steel alloy that gives great flexibly and great strength. the unfortunate people to first come across this sword was the crusaders, and it instantly gained there respect. It is said that a Damascus steel blade could cut a piece of silk in half as it fell to the ground, but could still chop through normal blades, and rock and still hold its sharp edge. No doubt if you could get your hands on one of these great swords would be a dream come true but to stand on the other side of one would be a nightmare.
