Steel Information SOME
INFORMATION ABOUT 420V (AKA S90V): CPM(r) S90V (420V) (AISI 420 modified
with high vanadium)CPM S90V is a unique tool steel made by the Crucible
Particle Metallurgy process. It is a martensitic stainless steel to
which vanadium and carbon have been added for exceptionally good wear
resistance. CPM S90V offers substantial improvements in wear resistance
over 440C and D2, and other high chromium steels, with corrosion
resistance equal to or better than 440C. CPM S90V's high vanadium
content favors the formation of hard vanadium carbides instead of
chromium carbides for wear resistance, leaving more free chromium
available to provide corrosion resistance. The wear and corrosion
resistance of CPM S90V make it an excellent candidate to replace 440C,
where increased wear is a primary concern. It can replace D2 or other
tool steels in applications where improved corrosion resistance is also
of benefit.
