Description
One of the topics in this module is Low-alloy Steels. They are known for their common uses—all of which vary greatly across many industries. Applications for low-alloy steels range from military vehicles, earthmoving and construction equipment, and ships to the cross-country pipelines, pressure vessels and piping, oil drilling platforms, and structural steel. In this module the properties of quenched and tempered steels will be developed. After that, the effect of alloying element additions will be evaluated.
Then, the properties of quenched and tempered steels will be analysed using a table. Finally, the selection of the most effective engineering steel will be studied.
What you will learn
- Describe a tempering curve for a low alloy steel;
- Explain the effect of alloying element additions;
- Outline the properties of quenched and tempered steels.
