A model of the viscoplastic behaviour of the alloy at 625.675°C and strain rates of 10~‘-10~4sec~1,based on creep tests and electron microscopy was proposed. The results were used to construct equations linking material and energetic parameters.

M. Miskovicova et al. (Slovak Academy of Sciences, Kosice, Slovakia). Investigations of structures and cutting properties of sintered M2 HSS were described. Atomized powders with additional Nb, Co and Ti and hot powder extrusion were used. The additional elements were shown to affect crystallization. As-consolidated the alloys were reported to have improved cutting properties in comparison with cast/ wrought materials and compared favourably with polycrystalline diamond tools.
