Effect of various elements in steel
EFFECT OF S:
Always present in steel as inclusion (FeS and MnS)
Higher amount - undesirable ( 0.02 to 0.05 Max.)
HOT-SHORTNESS (FeS)
disintigration at high temperature during
rolling and forging.
MnS
FREE CUTTING STEEL
%S added upto 0.30~0.60 for better machinability

EFFECT OF P:
Always present in steel .
Higher amount - undesirable ( 0.02 to 0.05 Max.)
COLD-SHORTNESS
reduction in impact stg. At low temperature
FREE CUTTING STEEL
Added in certain grades of steel upto 0.12% to
improve machinability

EFFECT OF Si:
It dissolves in ferite increasing strength and hardness without
lowering ductility
Dexodizer - during casting of ingots ( 0.1 ~0.3 %)
0.3~0.5~% Si added to increase strength and soundness of casting

EFFECT OF Si:
Electric steel :
%C ~ 0.5 max. ; % Si 3.0 ~4.0
for manufacturing cores of electric motors, generators and
transformers.
Spring steel :
%Si ~2.0 ; %Mn ~1.0 ; %C 0.5 ~0.7
with proper heat-treatment , this category have high elastic
limit and fatigue strength.
These steels are used to manufacturing springs , chisels and
punches

EFFECT OF Mn:
It dissolves in ferrite to increase strength and hardness
It increases hardenability to a certain extent
It takes care of S in steel by forming MnS
(for this purpose Mn should be 3 to 8 times that of S)
HADFIELD STEEL
Mn up to 12 ~14 %
wear resistant, tough and non-magnetic steel

EFFECT OF Ni:
It dissolves in ferrite, increasing hardness, strength and toughness
without sacrificing ductility
It increasing hardenability of steel
It increases impact resistance of steel at very low temperature
Higher amount of Ni is added to increase corrosion resistance
of high Cr steels

EFFECT OF Cr:
Cr increases hardenability
It forms carbides havigg high hardness and wear resistance
Cr provodes strength, wear and oxidation resistance at elevated
temperature.
Higher amount of Ni is added to increase corrosion resistance
of high Cr steels

EFFECT OF Mo:
Mo increases hardenability
It forms carbides having high hardness and wear resistance
0.15 ~0.30 % Mo is added to enhance the effect of other alloying
elements such as Mn , Ni , and chromium
It eliminates temper brittleness in steel

EFFECT OF V:
V increases hardenability
It inhibits grain growth when steel is heated at high temperature.
V is a strong carbide former. Vanadium carbides posses high
hardness and wear resistance
V improves fatigue resistance

EFFECT OF W:
W increases hardenability
It forms carbides having high hardness and wear resistance
It is important alloying element in tool steel
EFFECT OF Ti:
It is a strong carbide former
Ti in ss - to fix C and prevent ppt of chromium-carbide

EFFECT OF Cu:
0.1 ~0.4% is added to get increased atmospheric corrosion
Effect of Al :
0.01 ~0.06 % - for fine grained steel
1 ~3 % in nitriding steel
Effect if B :
Increases hardenability ( 0.001 ~0.005%)

ALLOY STEELS
1) FREE CUTTING STEEL :-
- High machinability
- High quality surface finish
- %S - 0.3 ~0.6 % ; %P - 0.12 max.
(S present in MnS inclusions which promote formation
of short brittle chips)
- % Pb upto 0.35 % also improves machinability
(Pb exists in very small sub-microscopic globules)
Pb does not decrease ductility, toughness and other
mechanical properties

ALLOY STEELS
2) SPRING STEEL :-
(i) Medium and high C , plain C steels with higher
amount of Mn.
(ii) Medium C alloy steel with Mn and Si as main alloying
elements.

ALLOY STEELS
3) STAINLESS STEEL :-
(i) Austenitic (Cr + Ni min. 25%)

High C steel ( upto 1.40%)
Cr , V and Mo added for carbide
formation
(ii) SHOCK RESISTANCE TOOL STEEL
%C ~ 0.5 ~0.6
Cr , Mo and W added to improve stg

ALLOY STEELS
4) TOOL STEEL :-
(iii) COLD WORK TOOL STEEL
for tool intented for cold work application
non-deforming or non-distorting steel
@ Oil hardening steels - C-Mn steels ; Cr & W added to improve
hardenss , hardenability and wear resistance
@ Air hardeing steel - Cr-Mn-Mo steel
@ High C high Cr - air hardened - high hardness and
abrasion resistance
properties of this steel can be further enhanced by adding
Mo , W and V

ALLOY STEELS
4) TOOL STEEL :-
(iv) HOT WORK TOOL STEEL
for tool intented for HOT work application
EG. :- DIE CASTING
