A study is made of the microstructure, mechanical properties, machinability, and service properties of a 250 × 800 × 2000 mm block of 0.15% C – 1.87% Mn – 3% Ni – Cr – Cu – Al steel after its continuous cooling. The steel has good hardenability and polishability, and a pattern can easily be etched on its surface.
