· VKN3

VKN3 is a vanadium-containing tool steel or high-speed steel, likely a Soviet/Russian designation (VK prefix typically indicates vanadium alloys in that classification system). This material is formulated to provide enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and edge retention through vanadium carbide precipitation, making it suitable for demanding cutting and forming applications where tool life and dimensional stability are critical.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
