Try 4140 it is relatively cheap and easy to heat treat. Hardness should be at least

45 to 50 Rc.

You may be able to use a cheaper high carbon steel and surface coat it with tungsten carbide to get higher life of the collet. If you need more information on this please send me an e-mail giving the details of the collets to technovationsintl@gmail.com
