| Chromium-molybdenum-tungsten-vanadium alloyed PM steel Vanadis 23 is a high speed powder metallurgical steel, recommended for low temperature die casting applications and warm forging applications where wear resistance above that of an ORVAR 2M / AISI H13 is required. This material is available in limited sizes. Vanadis 23 is characterized by: - High wear resistance (abrasive profile)
- High compressive strength
- Very good through-hardening properties
- Good toughness
- Very good dimensional stability on heat treatment
- Very good temper resistance
Applications: Uddeholm Vanadis 23 is especially suitable for blanking and forming of thinner work materials where a mixed (abrasive–adhesive) or abrasive type of wear is encountered and where the risk for plastic deformation of the working surfaces of the tool is high, e.g.:Blanking of medium to high carbon steelBlanking of harder materials such as hardened or cold-rolled strip steelPlastics mould tooling subjected to abrasive wear conditionPlastics processing parts, e.g. feed screws, barrel liners, nozzles, screw tips, non-return check ring valves, pellitizer blades, granulator knives |
