The main role of vanadium is known as the fine austenites, the generation of microcrystals, ferrite grains refining and precipitation hardening. In addition, resistance to cracking increases, toughness is not reduced, and tensile strength and abrasion resistance are improved [2].
Metallurgical Approach for Improving Life and Brinell Resistance in Wheel Hub Units
One of these properties is hardness, and hence the name, precipitation hardening. In the process which gives precipitation harden, usually at relatively low temperatures, much complex change may occur before the actual precipitation, and the details differ in the variety of alloys which have been so far investigate by many workers.
