what is hss-DM05

[clausDenmark]

I have gotten hold of a broken circular sawblade for steel, and it is marked HSS-DM05.
I know that HSS is High Speed Steel, but i am wondering if the DM-05 is the real name of the steel or just a manufacturers code.

any clues??

Thanks in advance.

Here is how to answer questions about 'mystery metals.' Go to one or both of these sites:
http://www.principalmetals.com/
http://www.matweb.com/searchindex.htm

Each of these sites has thousands of ferrous and non ferrous metals listed. You just pick the category you want, or can do a search with the name or number of the steel. Between these two sites, about 25,000 materials are listed.

Unfortunately, HSS-DMO5 is not listed. I suspect it is a model number of the saw blade.

Hope this helps you in the future, Walt
