What else can chisels be made from?
|
 |
|
Some cold chisels may be made from “alloy steel”.
Alloy steels are steels which have been combined with other metallic elements in order to make the steel stronger. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Chrome vanadium steel is one type of steel alloy. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Chrome vanadium steel cold chisels can also be drop forged, further enhancing their strength.
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Some chisels may be strengthened with an alloy made with chrome molybdenum, which is a particularly hard wearing metal. |
|
|
|
 |
|
Some masons’ chisels may be tipped with tungsten carbide, as it provides the added strength needed when working with some types of stone.
Ultimately, however, the quality of the metal will determine what a chisel can be used for. |
