ASTM T6 High Speed Tool Steel also belongs to tungsten type high speed steels in ASTM A600 specification. ASTM T6 tool steel is similar to T5 Tool Steel, but T-6 steel has more Cobalt and Tungsten content than T5 tool steels, and T6 tool steel is better in high temperature hardness and wear resistance.
