How the Vanadium affect the steel?

The addition of vanadium(V) to steel can not only deoxidize and dinitrogen but also improve the properties of steel. Vanadium is rarely added as a single alloying element, except in carbon tool steels in quantities not greater than 0.05%. It is always used in conjunction with other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, tungsten and…

Carbon tool steel VS Carbon mold steel

Some people often confused tool steels with mold steels because their definitions seem similar. Generalized tool steels include mold steels, which have some common characteristics, such as the need to bear great local pressure and strong wear, how to achieve the balance of toughness and wear resistance is their biggest contradiction. In a narrow sense,…
