Vanadium is a weak deoxidizer. Adding vanadium into density S460 ML steel can reduce the adverse effects of carbon and nitrogen, effectively improve the strength, but sometimes also increase the tendency of welding hardening, vanadium is also a commonly used trace alloy element.
We are a popular factory, supplier and wholesaler of mild steel plates and alloy steel plates in all over the globe. We follow all standards and specifications of density S460 ML boiler steel plate, structural steel plate, shipbuilding steel plates and corten steel in different types. We manufacture and supply steel plates, steel section and steel structures according to customer’s demand. The company also focus on providing customers with density S460 ML high-end steels and competitive price.

Normalizing is a heat treatment that improves the toughness of steel. After the steel components are heated to 30-50°C above the Ac3 temperature, they are kept for a period of time and then air cooled. The main feature is that the cooling rate is faster than annealing but lower than quenching. During normalizing, the crystal grains of the steel density S460 ML can be refined in a slightly faster cooling. Not only can satisfactory strength be obtained, but also the toughness (AKV value) can be significantly improved and reduced The tendency of the component to crack.
