The common materials used for lathe tool holders include:
Medium carbon steel: Possesses certain strength and toughness, with relatively low cost, but its wear resistance and heat resistance are generally average.
Alloy steel: Improves strength, hardness, wear resistance, and heat resistance by adding alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium.
Tool steel: Such as high-speed steel, it has good overall performance and maintains its hardness even at high temperatures.
Hard alloy: High hardness and good wear resistance, but relatively poor toughness.
Stainless steel: Has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for lathe tools operating in corrosive environments.
