This paper analyses the application of vanadium microaddition for the production of high strength 16mm diameter wire-rods. Laboratory trials, simulating industrial cooling conditions after hot rolling, were made in a range between 3 and 8°C/s. The results show that introducing vanadium means that it is possible to optimise chemical composition by reducing elements susceptible to segregation. Besides, high strength values are maintained by means of precipitation hardening. The influence of vanadium microalloying on the crystallographic ferrite unit size was also evaluated.

Abstract JESSOP JS17Cr-4Ni is a martensitic, precipitation-hardening chromium-nickel-copper stainless steel. It provides an excellent combination of high strength and hardness, short-time low-temperature precipitation hardening and good mechanical properties at temperatures up to 600 F (316 C). Its corrosion resistance is quite good but inferior to lower strength grades produced for corrosion-resistance applications. JS17Cr-4Ni is used widely for critical applications in the aerospace, chemical, food processing and other industries. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness and fatigue. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: SS-412. Producer or source: Jessop Steel Company.
