3. Features of SKD61 steel plate
Based on its chemical composition, SKD61 steel plate has the following characteristics:
- Carbon – Increases the hardness of the steel. Higher carbon content means higher hardness, but it also reduces ductility and impact toughness.
- Chromium – Limits rusting by creating an oxide film that protects the surface and prevents inner metal oxidation.
- Molybdenum – Enhances wear resistance, strength, ductility, and weldability. It also improves the steels corrosion resistance.
- Vanadium – Forms VC carbide with very high hardness, preventing austenite growth during heating. It also enhances the steels temperature resistance and wear resistance.
- Silicon – Like manganese, dissolved silicon in iron boosts the strength and hardness of steel alloys.
