Steel ,Stainless Steel & Effect of
alloying additions on steel
Manganese
Manganese slightly increases the strength of ferrite, and
also increases the hardness penetration of steel in the
quench by decreasing the critical quenching speed. This
also makes the steel more stable in the quench. Steels
with manganese can be quenched in oil rather than
water, and therefore are less susceptible to cracking
because of a reduction in the shock of quenching.
Manganese is present in most commercially made
steels.
Silicon
Silicon is used as a deoxidizer in the manufacture of
steel. It slightly increases the strength of ferrite, and
when used in conjunction with other alloys can help
increase the toughness and hardness penetration of
Chromium
As with manganese, chromium has a tendency to
increase hardness penetration. This element has
many interesting effects on steel. When 5 percent
chromium or more is used in conjunction with
manganese, the critical quenching speed is
reduced to the point that the steel becomes air
hardening. Chromium can also increase the
toughness of steel, as well as the wear resistance.
Probably one of the most well known effects of
chromium on steel is the tendency to resist staining
and corrosion. Steels with 14 percent or more
chromium are referred to as stainless steels. A
more accurate term would be stain resistant.
Stainless tool steels will in fact darken and rust,
Molybdenum
Molybdenum increases the hardness penetration
of steel, slows the critical quenching speed, and
increases high temperature tensile strength.
Vanadium
Vanadium helps control grain growth during heat
treatment. By inhibiting grain growth it helps
increase the toughness and strength of the steel.
Titanium
This element, when used in conjunction with Boron,
increases the effectiveness of the Boron in the
hardenability of steel.
Tungsten
Tungsten Used in small amounts, tungsten combines
with the free carbides in steel during heat treatment, to
produce high wear resistance with little or no loss of
toughness. High amounts combined with chromium
gives steel a property known as red hardness. This
means that the steel will not lose its working hardness
at high temperatures. An example of this would be tools
designed to cut hard materials at high speeds, where
the friction between the tool and the material would
generate high temperatures.
