Differences between SK2 steel, SK5 steel and manganese steel
SK2 steel, SK5 steel, and manganese steel are all common materials in the selection of utility blades, each with its own unique characteristics and applicable occasions. Understanding the differences between them can help you make a wise choice.
SK2 steel
SK2 steel is a high-carbon tool steel known for its high hardness and wear resistance. Due to its high carbon content, SK2 steel can reach extremely high hardness after proper heat treatment, which makes it excellent in both cutting performance and durability. For cutting tasks that require high precision and high strength, SK2 steel is the best choice.
SK5 steel
SK5 steel is also a high-carbon steel, but its carbon content is slightly lower than SK2 steel. SK5 steel has good toughness and strength and is often used in tools and knives that require a certain degree of elasticity and impact resistance. Although SK5 steel performs well in durability and sharpness, it is slightly inferior to SK2 steel in extremely high hardness and wear resistance.
Manganese steel
Manganese steel is an alloy steel whose main characteristics are high toughness and wear resistance. Manganese steel is often used to manufacture products that require high wear resistance and high impact resistance, such as mining equipment and construction machinery parts. Although manganese steel has outstanding toughness, it is not as sharp and hard as high-carbon steels such as SK2 steel and SK5 steel.
