Description
The ways in which strengthening mechanisms contribute to the yield strength of a given steel, and how they can be used to create required combinations of strength and toughness of steels for a variety of structural applications will be examined. There is also a wealth of information on structure/property relationships in steels in the microalloying series of conferences; a search on the Internet using microalloying will generate a large selection. Before starting, it is important that you are familiar with the terms Yield Stress, and Strain Ageing. You should be familiar with the concepts covered in:
Tensile Test
Grain Size Strengthening
Solid Solution Strengthening
Dislocation Strengthening
Particle Strengthening
What you will learn
- Explain the microstructural formation of ferrite/pearlite;
- Relate the ductility and yield strength with carbon content;
- Describe the effect of cementite in the elastic modulus.
