Vanadium plate
The main use of vanadium foils in steel production is to be added to steel as an alloying element to improve the properties of steel. Vanadium foil has the characteristics of improving steel strength, wear resistance, toughness and corrosion resistance, so it plays an important role in the manufacture of many high-performance steel materials. The following are several specific applications of vanadium sheets in steel production:
1. Production of vanadium alloy steel
Vanadium is one of the commonly used alloying elements and is often added to steel along with other metals (such as chromium, molybdenum, titanium, etc.) to produce vanadium alloy steel. The addition of vanadium can significantly improve the properties of steel, especially the strength and hardness. Vanadium alloy steel is mainly used in the following fields:
High strength structural steel: Vanadium alloy steel has high tensile strength and yield strength, and is often used in the manufacture of buildings, Bridges, vehicles and other structural parts.
Tool steel: Vanadium steel is often used in the manufacture of high-hardness tool steel, such as tools, molds, drills, etc. Vanadium can improve the wear resistance and heat resistance of steel.
High temperature resistant steel: Vanadium can improve the stability of steel at high temperatures, and is often used in the manufacture of components that need to withstand high temperature loads, such as engine parts, heat exchangers, etc.
2. Improve the fatigue resistance and wear resistance of steel
The addition of vanadium pellets can improve the fatigue resistance and wear resistance of steel, making it more suitable for high-load and high-impact environments. Vanadium alloy steel is widely used in:
Automotive industry: In the manufacture of automotive components, especially automotive engines, wheels, gears, suspension systems and other components that require high strength and wear resistance, vanadium alloy steel performs well.
Mechanical manufacturing: Vanadium steel is used in the manufacture of heavy machinery and mining equipment, etc., which require steel with high strength and good wear resistance.
3. Improve the ductility and toughness of steel
Vanadium pellets play a role in refining grains in steel, which can effectively improve the toughness and ductility of steel. This enables the vanadium alloy steel to maintain good impact toughness at low temperature and reduce the risk of brittle fracture.
Low-temperature steel: vanadium alloy steel has better toughness at low temperatures and is suitable for use in low-temperature environments, such as aerospace, oil drilling and other fields of steel requirements.
4. Manufacture of corrosion resistant steel
Vanadium also has a certain corrosion resistance, adding vanadium to the steel can improve the corrosion resistance of the steel, especially the resistance to some acidic or alkaline environments.
Chemical equipment: Vanadium alloy steel is often used in equipment in the chemical industry, such as reactors, pipelines, containers, etc., where chemical corrosion resistance is required.
5. Improve the hardening of steel
Vanadium wire has a significant effect on the hardening of steel, especially in the heat treatment process, can effectively improve the surface hardness and depth hardness of steel. Vanadium alloy steel is often used for workpieces that require good surface hardness and deep hardness.
Die steel and heat treated steel: The addition of vanadium foil can significantly improve the surface hardness of steel, often used in the manufacture of molds, cold working tools, etc.
6. Promote cold workability of steel
Vanadium alloy steel has good cold workability, and can maintain good workability when cold working (such as drawing, calendaring, etc.), and is not easy to deformation or damage. It is often used in parts that require precision machining and manufacturing.
7. Improve the oxidation resistance of steel
Vanadium plates can also improve the oxidation resistance of steel at high temperatures, delay the oxidation process, and are especially suitable for parts working in high temperature atmospheres or exposed to oxidation environments.
