Alloying and Temperature Treatment Challenges the alloying elements in Vg10, mainly vanadium, can complicate the casting and calefaction treatment processes. Vanadium contributes to the steel's hardness and wear resistance however can also lead to the formation of hard carbides that are hard to work with. Foundries need to exploit definite calefaction treatment schedules to balance those factors and ensure the final product meets the required specifications. Those challenges imply that foundries specializing in Vg10 frequently invest in advanced equipment and training to handle the material effectively.
