Alternative | Key Benefits |
---|---|
HSS M35 (Cobalt Grade) | Higher heat resistance than M2, suitable for higher temperature operations but slightly less toughness. |
Carbide Pins | Offers superior wear resistance but may be more brittle compared to HSS M2 in certain impact applications. |
Uncoated Pins (HSS or Steel) | Similar material but without the enhanced wear resistance and heat resistance found in HSS M2. |
