Chemical element that in steel forms carbides that can reduce the hardenability if the temperature is not high enough to dissolve them. It prevents grain growth in heating, so it improves toughness and provides steel with great resistance to overheating.

It is used in spring steels and non-deformable steels and high-speed tool steels.
