Assab Steels VANADIS 4 Cold Work Steel
Categories: Metal; Ferrous Metal; Chrome-moly Steel; Tool Steel; Cold Work Steel

Material Notes: 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
