CPM 10V is a unique tool steel made by the Crucible Metallurgy Process. It is designed with a tough, air hardening base analysis with added high carbon and vanadium for exceptionally good wear resistance, toughness and strength for cold and worm work tooling applications.
The exceptional wear resistance and good toughness of CPM10V makes it a excellent canidate to replace carbide and other highly wear resistant materials in cold work tooling applications, paticularly where tool toughness is a problem, or where cost effectiveness can be demonstrated.
Typical applications include: Knives for Slitters, Shearing, Trimming, Granulating, Pelletizing * Punches * Dies * Molds
Typical chemistry: Carbon 2.45% * Manganese .50% * Silicon .90% * Chromium 5.25% * Vandadium 9.75% * Molybdenum 1.30% * Sulfur .07%
