Learn about low and medium carbon steels, and how alloys affect the quenched and tempered steels.
Low Carbon Steels
Full Code
APP0303210
Module Type
E-learning
Description
Depending on the application, you will select a kind of alloying steel because you need different mechanical properties for each application.
When you can experiment with the component to obtain a certain level of hardness, there exist different methods to calculate the final hardenability that will be obtained.
In this module the effects of alloying elements in low carbon steels will be developed. Different alloy elements like Mn, Ni and Mo will be evaluated. After that, the comparison of TTT diagrams will be described. The mechanical properties of low carbon steels in different applications will be presented. Finally, the hardenability and a method to calculate it will be explained.
What you will learn
- Describe the effects of Alloying Elements in Low Carbon Steels;
- Explain the transformation characteristics of Low Carbon Steels;
- Interpret the mechanical properties of Low Carbon Steels;
- Calculate the hardenability of Low Carbon Steels.
