I see where you're coming from. However, these high speed tool steels certainly aren't corrosion resistant, and they're certainly high in carbon. Perhaps we should classify them as stainless and non-stainless super alloys. 1055 is no more comparable to M4 than 420J2 is comparable M390.I don't know about considering tool steels carbon steels. Their chemical makeup is closer to stainless than to the typical carbon steels.
