Application
Vanadium carbide is an exceptionally hard refractory material, boasting a Mohs hardness of 2800 kg/sq mm and a resistivity of 150 μΩ·cm at room temperature. It serves a significant purpose as an additive in the production of cutting tools. By incorporating vanadium carbide into tungsten carbide, the refined carbide crystals enhance the properties of cermets, which are widely utilized in manufacturing tool bits for cutting tools. Additionally, vanadium carbide acts as an alloying agent with iron to create high-speed, high-temperature cutting tools, designed for precision in cutting various metals and other hard substances.
