1. Wear resistance: In woodworking tools, the wear resistance of manganese steel is better than that of chromium steel. Manganese is a kind of metal with high hardness, which can provide excellent wear resistance, so that woodworking tools made of manganese steel can maintain sharp and stable effects for a long time during use. Although chromium steel also has certain wear resistance, it is slightly inferior to manganese steel.

2. Balance of strength and toughness: Manganese steel has achieved a good balance of strength and toughness. When the wood cutter is made of manganese steel, it has enough ability (strength) to resist the risk of external impact, deformation or fracture, and has enough energy to absorb impact, so it is not easy to fracture (toughness). Chromium plays an excellent role in increasing hardening effect to improve stiffness and ensure reasonable strength, but it will cause embrittlement and cracking when it is subjected to severe impact.
