Hss and toolsteel comparability
Hss and toolsteel comparability
(OP)
We need to manufacture parts with a material that will have the same hardness and brittleness after heat treatment as High Speed Steel
Does anyone have an answer as to what kind of tool steel would be comparable

A SWAG would be the high carbon steels.

Most all tool steels have at least some usable plastic strain capability. How much movement is ok - what minimum breaking strain must the part have? What impact energy is too much and what is too little?
If you have been using an "HSS" steel for this part, do you know which one, and what heat treatment it has?

As btrueblood suggested might consider glass or ceramic.
