Mourad Metals is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of M2 Steel Bar and Rod, proudly based in Tunis, Tunisia. They specialize in providing top-notch high-speed steel products to markets around the globe. Thanks to their advanced manufacturing capabilities and rigorous quality assurance processes, Mourad Metals delivers M2 steel bars and rods that are renowned for their exceptional dimensional precision, uniformity, and performance. M2 high-speed steel is highly regarded for its remarkable hardness, wear resistance, and its ability to maintain strength even at high temperatures. The company is dedicated to meeting global standards while catering to a variety of industrial needs with reliable and consistent steel solutions.
M2 steel bar and rod is a molybdenum-based high-speed steel primarily made up of carbon, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium. This unique blend results in high hardness, outstanding wear resistance, and excellent red hardness. With the right heat treatment, M2 steel can reach hardness levels of about 62–66 HRC, along with impressive compressive strength and good toughness. It also resists thermal softening, ensuring dependable performance during high-speed and high-temperature 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 are widely used in creating cutting and forming tools that require durability and heat resistance. Common applications include drills, end mills, taps, reamers, broaches, and saw blades. They also find their place in punches, dies, and tooling components for industries like automotive, aerospace, and heavy engineering. Thanks to their ability to maintain hardness under extreme operating conditions, M2 steel products are perfect for high-speed machining, precision tooling, and long-lasting industrial use.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
