Vanadium Steel
Why is Vanadium Chrome used for tools?….?
what attributes of VC makes it so easy to undergo heat treatment?……
Why is it wear resistant?
How does it compare with Stainless steel?
Thank You
Vanadium Carbide(VC) in stainless steel goes into solution easily at high temparatures and contributes to grain refining which provides for the improved strength of the tool.
The hardness of Vanadium Carbide(VC) which is almost 55 on the Rockwell C Scale makes it Wear resistant
However it is very brittle in nature.
