Factors determining the choice of structural steels

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The optimum combination of strength and ductility in steel is ensured by at least 90% martensite after quenching.

  2. 2.

    The effect of the alloyed elements on the quenching depth must also be taken into account.

  3. 3.

    Alloyed elements also affect impact strength and particularly, low temperature brittleness and brittleness induced by tempering. This effect must be taken into consideration in choosing steels for critical machine parts.
