chromium vanadium steel is a metal alloy that combines various elements to give it physical, chemical and mechanical properties that are specific to it. Its high strength and hardness make it useful in situations where it is exposed to extreme stress, such as the impact load that occurs when using a power tool.
In general, chromium vanadium steel is used for tools and heavy equipment. It can be formed into a variety of shapes, such as bars, blocks, and stepped shafts. It is usually made from a mixture of iron and carbon, as well as some other elements such as chrome and vanadium. It is heat treated to increase its strength and hardness.
This type of steel can be forged in many ways, including closed die, cold, cored and hammered forgings. It can also be forged in air, allowing it to retain its hardness at high temperatures. H-grade tool steels typically have chromium contents between 10-13%. They are suitable for working at high temperatures and can resist distortion with good wear resistance.
American Elements manufactures a number of chromium vanadium grades under the trade name AE Alloys(tm). They are available as rod, ingot, ribbon, wire, shot and sheet. They can be fabricated into components by hot or cold working and can be machined or cut to size. They can also be forged into finished products and heat-treated to meet the needs of a particular application. These grades are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, medical and defense industries. They can be produced to meet a wide range of military specifications and ANSI or ASTM standards.
