VG10 Martensitic stainless steel for Cutting Tools
VG represents Virgin Steel, and it originated in Japan. But Chinese innovation is an ideal substitute.
VG10 is high carbon stainless steel, the hardness is higher than ordinary stainless steel, easy to process, and cutting performance is excellent, toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, which it easy to sharpen razor-sharp. It is widely employed in producing kitchen knives, outdoor knives, and professional cutting tools.
VG10 is the upper grade of the V gold steel series stainless steel. It is the best quality steel in Japan and even the world.
But now it is fully replaced by Chinese technology, which can produce better cost performance, while the quality is equivalent to that of Japan.

Production process
Photo1(Domestic). Carbon carbide size obviously appears big size.
Photo 2 (abroad), the carbide distribution is uneven, and the individual is large. Reason analysis: During the smelting process, the carbide can not be controlled well. In the late forging, although the forging ratio increases, it fails to make up for the defects of the smelting.
Photo3(ZhengDa=Zeicin) the modification of three technological processes of 1)EAF+LF+VD, 2) Special innovation smelting process of RS ESR, 3) transformation forging, so that it is obviously better than the imported ones. The carbide is small and uniform.
Photo 1 (domestic), the carbide individual is obviously large, and the processing will exhibit the phenomenon of detachment.
Photo 2 (abroad), The carbides are superior to domestic ones, but there are more angular carbides, and cracks and stress concentrations are easy to occur in use, leading to early failure.
Photo3(ZhengDa=Zeicin), the modification in the process of smelting and forging, the level of carbide is obviously superior to the imports.
Photo 1 (domestic), Zonal carbides are obvious, the carbide particles are obviously larger than the longitudinal ones, causing analysis: no modification of forging, just rolling directly.
Photo 2 (abroad), the distribution of carbides is not uniform, and the individual is large. Reason analysis: During the smelting process, the carbide can not be controlled well. In the late forging, although the forging ratio increases, it fails to make up for the defects of the smelting.
Photo3(ZhengDa=Zeicin) the modification of three technological processes of 1) EAF +LF+VD, 2) Special innovation smelting process of RS ESR, 3) transformation forging, so that it keeps obviously better than the imported ones. The carbide is small and uniform.
