Co-based cutting tool insert alloys having a wrought microstructure and 3-15% Mo, 25-35% Cr, 0.5-2.5% C. The presence of W is avoided, and held below 1%. The alloys have enhanced resistance to abrasive and corrosive attack, and are especially suited for manufacturing router bits, router cutters, shaper cutters, molder cutters, etc. for cutting wood in secondary cutting operations such as furniture making or other cutting inserts such as inserts for cutting optical fibers.

Cobalt-based industrial cutting tool inserts and alloys therefor

A Co-based saw tip for attachment to saw blades for cutting wood, the saw tip formed from an alloy containing Mo in an amount from about 4 to about 20% by weight, Cr, C, and the balance Co. Certain embodiments specifically avoid all W. The tip optionally further contains elements selected from the group consisting of Mn, Si, Ni, B and Fe.
