Vanadium steel

Vanadium steel

Vanadium when added even in small proportion to an
ordinary low carbon increases significantly its elastic
limit and fatigue
resistance property.
Vanadium makes
steel strong and tough.
When vanadium is added up to 0.25%, the elastic limit of the steel is raised by
50% can resist high alternating stresses and severe
shocks.

Applications of Vanadium steel

1.  It is widely used for making tools.

2. 
It can also be used for shafts,
springs, gears, steering knuckles and drop forged
parts
