VANADIS 4 is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed steel which is characterized by:- High wear resistance
- High compressive strength
- Very good through-hardening properties
- Very good toughness
- Excellent dimensional stability after hardening and tempering
- Good resistance to tempering back
VANADIS 4 is especially suitable for applications where adhesive wear and/or chipping are the dominating problems, i.e. - with soft/adherent materials such as austenitic stainless steel, mild steel, copper, aluminum, etc. as work material
- with thicker work material
Examples:- blanking and forming
- Fine blanking
- Cold extrusion tooling
- Powder pressing
- Deep drawing
- Knives
