Carbon steel

By varying the carbon content, cooling rates, we will get different microstructure of steels that yield different properties which can be tailored to meet different engineering applications. In this experiment, the hardness of 3 steel alloys with varying Carbon compositions will be compared. With different amounts of Pearlite formed, we can also estimate the hardness of pure pearlite and ferrite. Lastly, the fourth sample will be quenched in water and a Martensitic structure will be observed. We

Abstract: Tempering is an important heat treating process, which is used to increase the toughness of steels after quenching process. Hollomon-Jaffe equation H=T(c+log⁡t ) is widely used to predict hardness with different tempering temperature and tempering time. T is the tempering temperature, t is the tempering time and c is the constant for the specific steel. The physical explanation of c constant was not clear. In this paper, the hardness and c/a ratio of tempered martensite for AISI 4140 were

Steel has been one of the key materials for a modern society from the past to these days, while its manufacture is one of the main contributors of carbon emission in the world. In order to drive the construction industry to apply more sustainable materials, Construction Industry Council (CIC) has launched a voluntary and Hong Kong-based Carbon Labelling Scheme for Construction Materials covering Cement, Reinforcing Bar, and Structural Steel. Steel, being a very significant material in building industry

weight, higher strength to weight ratio steels would be required. Not only is a high strength, but the steel also requires to be adequately formable and greater energy absorption capacity. Good formability is essential for designing vehicle components with complex shapes. Dual phase (DP) steels are quite promising material for these purposes. DP steels can already achieve strength in the range of 500-1200 MPa with a total elongation of 15-25 %. Dual phase steels contain more than 1% alloying element

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer Strengthening for Concrete Beam Wilson Handoko School of Materials Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW 2052, Australia Abstract Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) has been used in many sectors for over 20 years as it has excellent properties in terms of high tensile strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, durability, mouldable and good thermo mechanical properties. These excellent properties lead to the low maintenance cost

Material Properties of Steel Steel is an alloy of iron, with carbon being the primary solute in the solid solution. It is a polycrystalline solid with grain diameter from 10 to 20 micro-meter (Ashby et al). The presence of impurity like carbon causes the crystal lattice distortions to increase, hence making giving steel better hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength, at the cost of ductility. Pure iron being very ductile but comparatively weak, steel is widely because of its greater load bearing

stainless steel. My invention is stainless steel. Stainless steel was invented in 1916. It was used for most appliances like washing machines, some stoves, fridges, freezers and some pans. Stainless steel helped manufacture many appliances. Before stainless steel was used people in 1821 they were realizing that steel was resistant to some acids. Some of the acids steel is resistant to are on your finger tips. Stainless steel was first produced 100 years ago. Before the stainless steel age, we used

------------------------------------------------- Alloy Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron, with carbon content between 0.02% and 2.14% by mass. An alloy is a metallic solid solution composed of two or more elements. Complete solid solution alloys give single solid phase microstructure, while partial solutions give two or more phases that may or may not be homogeneous in distribution, depending on thermal (heat treatment) history. Alloys usually have different properties from those

emissions as compared to plastic production. Steel is the most important material in construction simply because it always contains recycled content. It is completely recyclable at the end of its product life and may be recycled an unlimited number of times without loss of quality. Steel is 100% recyclable, which means it can be reprocessed into the same material of the same quality again and again. Also, it is easily recovered by magnetic separation. Once steel is produced, its life cycle is potentially
