What material is good for the toolholder?

Aluminum alloy when it comes to the handle material, it must be aluminum alloy. For beginners, this material is anodized to any color you want. In addition, it is a very durable handle material.

Its characteristics, take up will not be so heavy, now commonly used aluminum alloy is t6-6061 alloy. Its surface texture design can ensure that the handle of aluminum alloy is firmly grasped, which is comfortable and smooth to use. But the advantages must have disadvantages, such as the anti-collision force is not strong, will lead to scratches or dents; cold weather holding, holding is not very comfortable. Compared with aluminum alloy, stainless steel is not light in weight; however, stainless steel has excellent durability, anti rust and corrosion resistance, although it is not completely impermeable; but as far as metal handle material is concerned, stainless steel is undoubtedly the best metal, and the stainless steel used is 410 / 416 / 420, etc.

In addition, the stainless steel handle is smooth, so the manufacturer will add some etching or ripple on it to increase the friction. Many times, you will see that stainless steel is combined with plastic and rubber to make it easy to grasp. However, stainless steel handle is generally not used in daily carrying or heavy cutting tools because of its heavy weight. 6Al / 4V: 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium and 90% pure titanium are widely used in titanium alloys. It is light in weight and has better corrosion resistance than any metal material. It is also a common metal material. The handle is mild, and can be treated with positive surface or pearlescent treatment. In addition to the handle, titanium is also used as a wire lock material due to its good elasticity.

It is worth noting that compared with stainless steel, titanium alloy or aluminum alloy are easy to produce scratches. In addition, titanium alloy is often used as coating on blade and handle to increase strength and overall toughness.

Although synthetic materials are not as durable and strong as metals, to a certain extent, synthetic materials provide more appearance and better grip. Rust is an inevitable characteristic of metal materials, but synthetic materials can completely prevent rust. Generally speaking, synthetic materials are lighter and more expensive than metal materials because they are more difficult and rare to make. The common synthetic materials are carbon fiber, G10, glass reinforced nylon and Micarta, etc. Carbon fiber carbon fiber (CF) is a new kind of fiber material with high strength and high modulus, which contains more than 95% carbon. It is made of flake graphite microcrystalline and other organic fibers stacked along the axial direction of the fiber, and the microcrystalline graphite material is obtained by carbonization and graphitization. Carbon fiber is "soft on the outside and hard on the inside". Its weight is lighter than that of aluminum, but its strength is higher than that of steel. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high modulus. It is an important material in national defense, military industry and civil engineering. It not only has the intrinsic characteristics of carbon material, but also has the softness and processability of textile fiber, so it is a new generation of reinforced fiber.

Carbon fiber has many excellent properties, such as high axial strength and modulus, low density, high specific performance, no creep, good temperature resistance and fatigue resistance in non-oxidation environment, specific heat and conductivity between non-metal and metal, low coefficient of thermal expansion and anisotropy, good corrosion resistance, and good X-ray transmission. Good conductivity, good electromagnetic shielding and so on.
