V-MAX |
|
|
Our goal with V-Max was to develop a universal
bar stock that would provide the most useful properties at the most
economical price - an effective but simple general purpose material that
would stand up under the most adverse conditions.
V-Max was developed from the chemical model of
a 1330 steel, which was subsequently micro-alloyed using the most advanced
processing.
|
|
|
|
BENEFITS OF V-MAX |
|
|
Dollar for dollar V-Max may be the best general purpose
bar stock value in North America.
V-Max is a new bar product developed by
a revolutionary processing technique, designed to refine and
purify the alloying matrix. This process yields a universal
shafting material ideal for both maintenance and manufacturing needs.
This product is botheasy to machine and
easy to weld. Because it is strong, versatile and economical you will
find yourself using V-Max for a good portion of your general maintenance
needs.
V-Max will save you time, energy, duplicated
inventories and headaches. It is an indispensable item in the tool room, machine shop
and production inventories.

FEATURES OF V-MAX |
|
|
- Strength
- Ease of machining... not gummy or mushy
- Ease of welding and repair
- Economical
- Will take and hold a bright finish
- Availability and continuance of supply
- Quality assurance
- Comprehensive size range
- Durable ... resists twist, bow and fatigue
- High impact values
- Resists creep at higher temperatures
- Resists deformation or "walking" during machining due to accurate
stress relieving at mill
|
|
|
|
APPLICATIONS |
|
|
V-Max can be used for a variety of shaft applications in
the following industries:
- Industrial machine shops
- Machine tool manufacturers
- Heavy equipment and machinery manufacturers
- Fan, pump and compressor manufacturers

Machining and
Altering V-Max
Case Hardening
Responds well to flame, induction,
Carburizing, or Nitriding methods of case hardening. Typical surface
hardness by flame or induction is 50RC.
Note:
V-Max is furnished at a hardness considered to be optimum for most general
purpose applications (approx. 230 BHN). Although subsequent hardening is
easily achieved, most applications will not require it. Subsequent
hardening will alter physical properties and surface finish. Should your
particular application require higher specific properties or should you
need something other than a general purpose grade of shafting material,
please inquire with your Baldwin representative and/or review other
Baldwin bar products.
