Hello, Everyone.
This is Raphael. This is my first thread in this forums. Be honest, I am a chinese, who graduated from US university and majored in ME.
What I am look for is that, after a long time about a lot of reviews, I found that most material for a plier head of a multi-tool is limited to stainless steel or low-mid chromium steel.
I am currently designing and building a multi-tool, but considering to use high chromium steel alloy, or even aus-8 or d2 such steel alloy, for the design of this plier head.
So, my question is if it is worth a EDC multi-purpose tool to use such high level steel for its plier head? And is there any suggestions about how many HRC I should remain for any kind of steel?
