What is chrome vanadium steel?

Hex tool manufacturers do not all use the same type of alloy steel. Chrome vanadium, 1050 carbon steel, S2, and 8650 are all common grades in use. Protanium® Steel is a proprietary alloy steel developed and used only by Bondhus. read more

vanadium steel alloys are the material of choice for building axles, gears and crankshafts. This alloy is valued among steel alloys for its durable nature. Adding a small amount of vanadium to steel instantly boosts the strength of the metal, its toughness and its resistance to heat. read more

Chrome vanadium, 1050 carbon steel, S2, and 8650 are all common grades in use. Protanium® Steel is a proprietary alloy steel developed and used only by Bondhus. It is the hardest, most ductile, and longest wearing steel that exists in the hex tool industry. read more

Chromium-vanadium steel refers to steel alloys incorporating carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulphur, silicon, chromium, and vanadium. Some forms can be used as high speed steel. Chromium and vanadium both make the steel more hardenable. read more
