APPLICATION OF VANADIZING PROCESS FOR TOOLS AND DIES

A hard vanadium carbide layer formed by diffusion process has excellent properties such as very high abrasion and adhesion resistance and good tribo-chemical properties. Because of these advantages it is used for different applications in the production of tools and dies. A vanadium carbide layer with 3500 HV protects the surface of tools or dies of abrasion when processing different materials which contain abrasive particles. A very stabile vanadium carbide layer also protects die casting moulds from reactive molten aluminium. Some results of the application of vanadized tools and dies are presented.
