| The ability of steel to form martensite on quenching is referred to as the hardenability. |
|
| While nickel and copper do not affect hardenability nearly as much, they segregate to graphite nodule sites and do not form detrimental carbides. |
|
| First, in a case-hardened steel, the hardenability of both case and core must be considered. |
|
| That is, the hardenability of the case is significantly greater when nitrogen is added by carbonitriding than when the same steel is only carburized. |
|
| Improved hardenability is achieved by adding such elements as manganese, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, and boron. |
|
| Up to 2 percent chromium is added to low-alloy steel to improve hardenability, wear resistance, and high-temperature strength. |
|
| Because of the relatively high hardenability of A. R. Steel preheating and maintaining this interpass temperature is required on all thicknesses. |
|
| Nitriding steel with an excellent level of hardenability and particularly high mechanical properties, impact strength and fatigue limit. |
|
| It decreases hardenability but sustains hardness during tempering. |
|
| As its hardenability is not very high, grades 7010 or 7050 would be preferred where greater thicknesses are involved. |
|
| The Cr and Mo contents control the surface hardness and give the steel grade good hardenability and tempering resistance. |
|
| Les Forges de Sorel developed a new steel whose hardenability and hardness allow the production of large-scale parts, meeting a growing market demand. |
|
| Homogeneity is guaranteed when oil quenching techniques are used for massive loads, although these are not necessarily required for carburizing steels with optimised hardenability. |
|
| Strengthens low alloy steels and increases hardenability. |
|
| Boron alloying even in small quantities significiantly increases the hardenability of steel, allowing lower contents of carbon and other alloying elements. |
|
| It is one of the most effective elements for increasing hardenability of iron and steel, and it also contributes to the toughness of quenched and tempered steels. |
|
| High level of hardenability in water and oil. |
|
| Hardness tests are used in order to test hardenability of steel by Jominy testing, the hardened depth of surface hardened steel and controlling the performance of welds. |
|
| The tungsten and vanadium provide the hardenability necessary to ensure a tough core and a surface containing carbides which provide the resistance to wear. |
|
| Steel gives strength, durability, corrosion resistance, hardenability, formability, weldability, and ductility to the products made by end-user industries. |
|
|
|
| Due to the quality and high hardenability of the steel, it was quickly adopted for the manufacture of tool steel, machine tools, cutlery, and many other items. |
