Cr.V?! Cr.Mo?! S2?!
Cr.V
Vanadium is a chemical element with the symbol V and atomic number 23. It is a hard, silvery-grey, malleable transition metal. The elemental metal is rarely used due to its high reactivity, but its compounds are used in many industrial processes and important alloys,
Cr.Mo
Chrome molybdenum is a steel alloy that contains chromium and molybdenum. It is also known as chromoly or chromium alloy. This alloy is used in a variety of industries and applications because it has excellent mechanical properties.
Chrome vanadium is a type of spring steel that was pioneered by Henry Ford in 1908. It contains approximately 0.80% carbon and 0.60% manganese, as well as smaller amounts of silicon, phosphorous, sulfur, and oxygen, thanks to its superior strength and resistance to wear and tear. Chromium and vanadium are added to steel to improve mechanical properties such as hardness, strength and wear resistance. The term “chromium-vanadium” refers to a family of steel alloys that contain a moderate amount of carbon (around 1%), along with varying levels of chromium (0.15% – 0.20%) and vanadium (0.18%). These alloys are commonly used for hand tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers.
Chrome molybdenum is a steel alloy that contains chromium and molybdenum. It is also known as “chromoly” or “chromium-molybdenum steel”. Chromoly is a steel alloy that contains chromium, molybdenum, and small amounts of other alloying elements such as manganese and nickel. It is stronger and more corrosion-resistant than mild steel, and it is easily weldable. Chromoly is also heat-treatable, allowing it to be used in a variety of applications. It is often used in the automotive industry for its strength and heat resistance. It is also used in bicycle frames, roll cages, and other applications where strength and light weight are needed. Chromoly is also used in the aerospace industry for its strong, lightweight properties.
To make the best tools, you need the right materials. We use both Cr-Mo and Cr-V for our wrenches, sockets and impact socket for absolute, as well as both 6150 and 50BV30 for some of our drivers. By investing in alloys from both families, we ensure that every tool is strong enough to handle the torque we put it through — whether we’re loosening or tightening a bolt.
6140/8660 as well in screwdriver bits, extension bar and impact socket or accessories.
S2 steel is harder than chrome vanadium or 8650 steel, but it is also less ductile and, as such, more prone to shattering. This makes it a less popular choice for manufacturing tools and knives than the other two steels. It is more expensive to produce than 8650 steel or chrome vanadium, which means it is only used by a few manufacturers. It is most frequently used for making screwdriver bits and screwdriver bits for two piece bit sockets.
