Figure 20.A depicts the handles of two large wrenches, ratchet wrench and a pipe wrench. These components are traditionally forged from a ferrous alloy, or made from a cast steel or cast iron. For various reasons, alternative materials may be desired. The ratchet wrench is quite long, and reduced weight may be a reasonable desire. Both of these tools could be used in areas, such as a gas leak, where a non-sparking safety tool would be required. Current specifications for the ratchet handle call for a yield strength in excess of 50 ksi and a minimum of 2% elongation in all directions to ensure prevention of brittle fracture. The pipe wrench most likely has similar requirements.

- Could a plastic or composite material be used to make a quality product with these additional properties? (NOTE: Metal jaw inserts can be used in the pipe wrench, enabling the other components to be considered as separate pieces.)
- If so, how would you propose to manufacture the new handles?
