New Patented High Speed Steel Alloys

[Maui]

A US patent was just issued in February of this year for a new family of super high speed steel alloys that I invented. You can read about them here:

These grades are so new that they don't even have an official name yet. That's one of the reasons why I am posting this. They possess exceptional attainable hardness, red hardness, and wear resistance. I was considering calling them AR (Abrasion Resistant) grades and numbering them sequentially - AR1, AR2, etc. Does anyone here have any other suggestions about what a good name for these alloys might be?

How convenient that AR also happens to be your initials!

Go for it.

For a more literary option, consider "Reardon Metal"

interesting die quenching is becoming a lost art. a true test will be how many gear teeth can be cut per sharpening.

Hi MintJulip. I was also thinking that way and was considering calling them RM 1, RM 2, etc.

Mfgenggear, many of these grades would excel in gear cutting hob applications. I am looking forward to the very first field trials that will be conducted.

If I was not retired , I would volunteer.
I was always open for new tech and materials

Do you think any of your former co-workers who are still there would have an interest?

Sorry Maui, most have retired or passed
