Steel

The most important metal in industry is iron and its alloy - steel. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. It is strong but corrodes easily through rusting, although stainless and other special steels resist corrosion. The amount of carbon in steel influences its properties considerably.

Steels of low carbon content (mild steels) are quite ductile and are used in the manufacture of sheet iron, wire and pipes. Medium carbon steels containing from 0.2 to 0.4 per cent carbon are tougher and stronger and arc used as structural steels. Both mild and medium carbon steels suitable for forging and welding. High carbon steels contain from 0.4 to 1.5 per cent carbon, are hard and brittle and are used in cutting tools, surgical instruments, razor blades and springs. Tool steel, also called silver steel, contains about 1 per cent carbon and is strengthened and toughened by quenching and tempering.

The inclusion of other elements affects the properties of the steel. Manganese gives extra strength and toughness. Steel containing 4 per cent silicon is used for transformer cores or electromagnets because it has large grains acting like small magnets. The addition of chromium gives extra strength and corrosion resistance, so we can get rustproof steels.

Heating in the presence of carbon or nitrogen-rich materials is used to form a hard surface on steel (case-hardening).

High-speed steels, which are extremely important in machine tools, contain chromium and tungsten plus smaller amounts of vanadium, molybdenum and other metals.

Methods of Steel Heat Treatment

Quenching is a heat treatment when metal at high temperature is rapidly cooled by immersion in water or oil. Quenching makes steel harder and more brittle, with small grains structure.

Tempering is a heat treatment applied to steel and certain alloys. Hardened steel after quenching from a high temperature is too hard and brittle for many applications. Tempering, that is re-heating to an intermediate temperature and cooling slowly, reduces this hardness and brittleness. Tempering temperatures depend on the composition of the steel but are frequently between 100 and 650°C. Higher temperatures usually give a softer, tougher product.

Annealing is a heat treatment in which a material at high temperature is cooled slowly. After cooling the metal again becomes malleable and ductile (capable of being bent many times without cracking). IaH these methods of steel heat treatment are used to obtain steels with certain mechanical properties for certain needs.
