Premium chrome vanadium steel
Reliability without wear and tear
When it comes to tools, such as spanners and pipe pliers, for
example, which need to withstand high loads, properties
such as high tensile strength, the corresponding ductility of
the material with higher elasticity and the lowest possible
susceptibility to cracking are of particular importance. These
requirements are particularly well met by Premium chrome/
vanadium steel, an alloyed tool steel with manganese,
chrome, silicon and carbon. Tools made from this steel have
a long service life and are an excellent choice for many years
of use.
Alloyed tool steel 31CrV3, in accordance
with EU directive 2000/53/EC
› 0.60% manganese for higher tensile strength and ductility
› 0.60% chrome for lower susceptibility to cracking and higher
tensile strength
› 0.30% silicon for higher elasticity
› 0.35% carbon for appropriate tool hard
