Manufacturing materials
Bosch is a European company, therefore the labeling of the manufactured products complies with the following standards:
- HSS;
- HSSCo.
The first option complies with the Russian standard R6M5, and the second - R6M5K5.
R6M5 is a household special steel, cutting, with a hardness of 255 MPa. Usually, all threading power tools, including metal drills, are made from this brand.
R6M5K5 is also a cutting special steel for the production of power tools, but with a strength of 269 MPa. As a rule, a metal-cutting tool is made from it. It allows the processing of high-strength stainless and heat-resistant substrates.
If the following letters are found in the abbreviation of designations, then they mean the addition of the corresponding materials:
- K - cobalt;
- F - vanadium;
- M is molybdenum;
- P - tungsten.
As a rule, the content of chromium and carbon is not indicated in the marking, since the inclusion of these bases is stable. And vanadium is indicated only if its content is more than 3%.
In addition, the addition of certain materials gives the drills a specific color. For example, in the presence of cobalt, the bits become yellowish, sometimes even brownish, and the black color indicates that the drill was made from ordinary tool steel, which is not of high quality.
