The question has to many variables for me to really answer.
Weight , size and shape of axe head all have some bearing on the material you could use.

A piece of Hardox might fit the bill.

Where is hardox avalible from?

The shape will be like this-

But single headed.

The size is the question really.

Thanks.

So do you think 5mm hardox would do?

Probably will do, might bend if it got hit by a spinner, but then your arm probably will bend also.

Even a chunk of alu will do. Unless you hope to achieve some cutting action.

Yeah,cutting is the one thing i dont want.

I dont want my axe to get stuck in the other bot.

I think i will use hardox,is it heavy?

[maddox]

Hardox has the same weight as steel, as it is a low alloy hi strength steel. 7.85kg/dm³

Thanks Mario.

Is it expensive to get hardox cut?

[geeza]

You can cut it with an angle grinder, so not really unless you want complex shapes. I made an axe head for Mayhem from hardox with nothing more than a grinder. Drilling can be hardwork, sharp drills are vital, once they are slightly blunt they need to be resharpened before using again. You can get away with it a bit more on ali but there is no chance with hardox. There are quite a few laser cutting places about these days, but they will be fairly expensive for one offs.

the axe head on mayhem is 4mm hardox and that was bent by hornet 2 so if you want something realy strong you would have to go thicker

Tut, these kids never look after the things you make for them. Matt do you need a new one or need it straightening? Ive still got the template.
