Usage

Description

Vanadium monocarbide (VC) is an extremely hard refractory material known for its high hardness, high melting point, and excellent wear resistance. It is a transition metal carbide that belongs to the group of refractory compounds, which are characterized by their ability to maintain their properties at high temperatures.

Uses

Used in Tool Industry:
Vanadium monocarbide is used as an additive to tungsten carbide (WC) for refining the carbide crystals and improving the properties of the cermet. This enhances the performance of cutting tools, making them more durable and efficient in cutting various materials.
Used in High-Speed Cutting Tools:
Vanadium monocarbide is used to alloy iron to produce high-speed, high-temperature cutting tools for cutting metals and other hard substances. Its high hardness and wear resistance make it an ideal material for creating cutting tools that can withstand the demands of high-speed and high-temperature operations.
Used in Steel Additive:
Vanadium monocarbide is also used as a steel additive to improve the mechanical properties of steel, such as its strength, toughness, and wear resistance. This makes the steel more suitable for various applications, including the manufacturing of cutting tools and other industrial components.
Chemical Properties:
Vanadium monocarbide is a crystalline material with a Mohs hardness of 2800 kg/sq mm, indicating its extreme hardness. It also has a resistivity of 150 μΩ·cm at room temperature, which contributes to its electrical conductivity and thermal stability.
