Edition 080929 2 VANADIS 4 EXTRA VANADIS 4 EXTRA CONSISTENT TOOL PERFORMANCE WITH LONG AND RELIABLE TOOL LIFE With an increased demand for just-in-time (JIT) deliveries and shorter lead time, it is of utmost importance that the tool life is predictable and with a long and reliable performance. Good performance is also necessary in order to reduce your down time and cost for tool maintenance, as well as to optimise machine utilisation. Such reduction and optimisation lead to an optimal tooling economy and a competitive production cost. Vanadis 4 Extra offers an extremely good combination of ductility and wear resistance (abrasive, adhesive and mixed) for high performance tools. This makes it possible for consistent tool performance for demanding cold work applications such as blanking and forming of austenitic stainless steels and advanced high strength steels (AHSS). In such demanding applications, a combination of wear resistance is needed in combination with resistance to chipping and cracking for long production runs, with less tooling maintenance. MACHINABILITY The tool making process is a very important link in the tooling sequence. In order to achieve a long and reliable tool performance, the quality of the tool in terms of surface finish is extremely important. Vanadis 4 Extra offers a very good machinability and grindability compared with other highly alloyed powder metallurgical tool steels, resulting in better surface finish and an excellent tool quality. This is due to the well balanced chemistry of Vanadis 4 Extra and the SuperClean process that is utilised for its production. 3 VANADIS 4 EXTRA Critical tool steel properties General FOR GOOD TOOL PERFORMANCE Vanadis 4 Extra is a chromium-molybdenum-vanadium alloyed steel which is characterised by: Correct hardness for the application High wear resistance Very good ductility High ductility High abrasive-adhesive wear resistance High compressive strength High wear resistance is often associated with low ductility Good dimensional stability during heat treatment and and vice-versa. However, in many cases for optimal tool in service performance, both high wear resistance and ductility are essential. Very good through-hardening properties Good temper back resistance Vanadis 4 Extra is a powder metallurgical cold work tool Good machinability and grindability steel offering an extremely good combination of wear resistance and ductility for high performance tools.

Applications Due to our carefully balanced alloying and the powder Vanadis 4 Extra is especially suitable for applications metallurgical manufacturing process, Vanadis 4 Extra has where adhesive wear and/or chipping are the dominant better machinability than the tool steel grade AISI D2. failure mechanisms. For examples: One major advantage with Vanadis 4 Extra is that the with soft/adherent work materials such as austenitic dimensional stability after hardening and tempering is stainless steel, mild steel, copper and aluminium much better than for all known high performance cold with thicker work materials work tool steels. This means that Vanadis 4 Extra is a high strength work materials tool steel which is very suitable for CVD coating. Vanadis 4 Extra is also very suitable for blanking and forming of Ultra High Strength Steel Sheets. These materials place high demands on the tool steel regarding abrasive wear resistance and ductility.
