VANADIS 4 is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed steel which is characterized by:- Extremely high abrasive wear resistance
- High compressive strength
- Very good through-hardening properties
- Good toughness
- Very good stability in hardening
- Good resistance to tempering back
- Good Machinability
- Simple heat treatment
- Suitable for surface treatment
VANADIS 4 is especially suitable for very long run tooling where adhesive wear is the dominating problem. Its very good combination of extremely high wear resistance and toughness also make VANADIS 10 an interesting alternative in applications where tooling made of such materials as cemented carbide tends to chip or crack. Examples: - Blanking and forming
- Fine blanking
- Blanking of electrical sheet
- Gasket stamping
- Deep drawing
- Cold Forging
- Slitting knives (paper and foil)
- Powder pressing
- Granulator knives
- Extruder screws, etc
