S2 alloy tool steel has a relatively high hardness among screwdriver materials, with a hardness range between HRC58-62. The following is a detailed comparison of S2 alloy tool steel and other common screwdriver materials:
S2 alloy tool steel:
Hardness: HRC58-62, which is one of the materials with higher hardness among screwdrivers.
Characteristics: Contains various alloying elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium, with excellent strength and toughness. It performs well in terms of impact resistance, strong torque, high hardness, and low stress.
Application: It is an ideal material for making high-end screwdrivers and other tools, suitable for high-intensity operations such as automotive maintenance, industrial equipment disassembly, etc.
Cr Mo chromium molybdenum steel:
Hardness: slightly higher than CR-V chrome vanadium steel, generally between HRC54-56.
Characteristics: Not only does it have high hardness, but its torque is about 30% higher than that of chrome vanadium steel.
Application: It is more suitable for making machine sleeves and other tools that require high torque, and has a wide range of applications in the industrial field.
CR-V chrome vanadium steel:
Hardness: ranging from HRC50-52.
Characteristics: It has high hardness and strength, as well as good wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
Application: Commonly used for manufacturing manual sleeves and other tools that require a certain degree of hardness and strength, it is a cost-effective choice and widely used in household and medium to light industrial scenarios.
45 # Carbon Steel:
Hardness: relatively low, generally between HRC40-45.
Features: Low cost, but poor durability, prone to wear and deformation.
Application: In the market, some unscrupulous merchants may use 45 # carbon steel to impersonate higher end materials. Consumers need to be cautious when purchasing.
