On the commonly used fixture materials

Common fixture / fixture materials: (A3, 45, P20, Cr12MoV, S136, SKD11, tungsten steel)

These raw materials are used for making fixtures and jigs, but different raw materials have different uses. Each raw material has different characteristics. Let me make a general comment on the usage of each raw material;

1. A3, 45, cheap raw materials, usually used in the main board without auxiliary fixture;

2. P20, Cr12MoV, usually an important part of the fixture, because the selected raw materials can be wear-resistant, will strengthen the service life of the product, and ensure the application accuracy;

3. S136 raw materials, mainly for wear and rust resistance. Generally used in welding fixture is a common raw material;

4. SKD11 raw materials are usually used in inspection tools and some sophisticated and wear-resistant tools;

5. Tungsten steel, the raw material used less, because the cost of raw materials is quite expensive, usually used in a thorough inspection tool, mainly if wear-resistant and rust proof high;
