Powder Steel
Steel materials made by powder metallurgy, a highly technical manufacturing process that differs from other steel materials, are called powder steels. It is also called Powdered High Speed Steel.
The dense structure of the metallurgical structure makes it tough and wear-resistant, and it maintains its excellent cutting ability.
Powdered steel, on the other hand, has a high hardness, the flip side of which is that it is easy to cut, and requires a certain level of knowledge and skill when sharpening.
