The content ranges of carbon (C), silicon (Si), manganese (Mn), and chromium (Cr) of the two are similar, but there are differences in the control of impurity elements.

The maximum content of phosphorus (P) in FDSiCr is 0.030, the maximum content of sulfur (S) is 0.025, and the maximum content of copper (Cu) is 0.12.

The maximum phosphorus (P) content of VDSiCr is 0.025, the maximum sulfur (S) content is 0.020, and the maximum copper (Cu) content is 0.06.

 

VDSiCr has stricter control over these impurity elements and higher purity of steel

 

Mechanical Property

 

In the EN 10270-2 standard,FDSiCr belongs to the medium tensile strength level, while VDSiCr belongs to the high tensile strength level. Generally speaking,VDSiCr has higher strength, better toughness and fatigue resistance, and can withstand more severe dynamic loads

FDSiCr and VDSiCr Application

 

TYPE

Application

FDSiCr

Suitable for static applications, such as springs and small device elastic components in ordinary machinery

VDSiCr

Used in situations where severe dynamic loads are encountered, such as valve springs in automobile engines or other springs with high fatigue requirements.

 

Production process

Due to the higher performance requirements of VDSiCr, the control over the steelmaking process, refining degree, heat treatment and other links during its production is stricter than that of FDSiCr. It needs more advanced production equipment and precise process control to ensure the stability of steel quality and consistency of performance.
