As industrial technology develops, the demand
from users has become severe, There's no
exception in the cutting steel case. Our
original cutting steel, V Steel series, is
made from very pure ores, and its chemical
structure is adjusted for best use for cutting
tools. Furthermore, the steel body is highly
worked hardened . V-Gin1 is one of these
strong and pure V Steel series.
In the structure of V-Gin1, ledeburite primary
carbides disperse, and in the matrix( substrate
), fine secondary carbides are evenly scattered.
V-Gin1 is generally called "semi-stainless
steel".
V-Gin1 shows good grindability on whetstone,
unlike stainless steel, which is difficult
to sharpen by grinding.
Added 5% of Cr and 1% of Mo, V-Gin1 exceeds
common carbon steel in corrosion resistance
and heat resistance.
Moreover, 5% of C, and 0.8% of Mn addition
realize enough quenching hardness even it
is cooled by air.
1% of Mo addition enhances toughness under
high temperature and softening-resistance.
By adding V, the texture of matrix ( substrate
) becomes finer.
After the adjustment of component, the ingot
goes through the processes such as removing
the surface mark, forging, hot rolling, and
finally makes excellent wrought material.
A composite material, whose core is V-Gin1
and soft stainless steel coating on it, called
Stainless Steel Chromax and
it is popular and in widespread use.
