Rupal Metals, a leading manufacturer and supplier located in Delhi, India, has made a name for itself by providing top-notch M2 Steel Bars and Rods specifically designed for precision tool-making and industrial machining. With a solid reputation grounded in engineering excellence, unwavering quality, and a focus on customer satisfaction, Rupal Metals offers M2 Steel products that adhere to global standards for durability and performance. Their M2 Steel Bars and Rods are highly regarded for their hardness, wear resistance, and toughness, making them perfect for high-speed cutting tools and other essential components. Rupal Metals proudly serves the tooling, automotive, and manufacturing industries with reliable material solutions.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods are a type of high-speed tool steel primarily made up of carbon (0.85%), tungsten (6.0%), molybdenum (5.0%), chromium (4.0%), vanadium (2.0%), along with trace amounts of manganese and silicon. This unique combination creates a remarkable balance of hardness, wear resistance, and red hardness. M2 steel boasts a tensile strength of around 700–800 MPa in its annealed state and can achieve a hardness of up to 65 HRC when heat-treated. It excels in edge retention and dimensional stability even at high temperatures, making it an excellent choice for precision machining tasks.

Yes, M2 steel can be welded, but it requires preheating and post-weld heat treatment to prevent cracking and ensure good weld strength due to its high hardness and wear resistance.
M2 steel rods are available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1/16" to 3" in diameter. Common finishes include bright, polished, and cold-drawn for enhanced surface quality and performance.
M2 steel bars are typically sized by diameter and length, with standard diameters ranging from 6 mm to 100 mm. Lengths usually vary from 3 meters to 6 meters.
M2 Steel Bars and Rods find extensive application in the production of high-speed cutting tools, such as drills, taps, milling cutters, reamers, and saw blades. Their exceptional hardness and ability to maintain sharp cutting edges at elevated temperatures make them ideal for industrial machining and metalworking processes. Additionally, they are utilized in die-making, punches, and precision measuring tools where durability and wear resistance are paramount. Thanks to M2 Steel’s outstanding toughness and heat resistance, it performs reliably under significant mechanical stress, making it a favored material in the automotive, aerospace, and general engineering sectors.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
