Discuss the classification, micro structure properties and application of steel [M/J’16] Steel : Steels are
alloys of iron and carbon. However steels contain other elements like silicon , manganese, sulphur,
phosphorus, nickel etc. The alloying elements are either intentionally added or retained during the
refining process. Specification of steels: The American Iron and steel institute the society of Automotive
Engineers. American society for testing and materials are responsible for the classification and
specification of steels as well as other alloys. The AISI / SAE designation for the steels is s four digit
number: First two digit indicate the alloy content, and last two digit indicate the carbon concentration
Classification of steel: Steel can be classified as follows 1. Plain carbon ( or) non alloy steels (i) Low
carbon steels (ii) Medium carbon steels (iii) High carbon steels 2, Alloy steels (i) Low alloy steels (ii) High
alloy steels Plain carbon steels: Plain carbon steels are those in which carbon is the alloying element that
essentially controls the properties of the alloys and in which the amount of manganese cannot exceed
1.65% and the copper and silicon contents each must be less that 0.6%. Composition of plan carbon
steels: Carbon upto 1.5% Manganese upto 1.65% Copper upto 0.6% Silicon upto 0.6% Other names: the
plain carbon steels are also known by many terms such as carbon steels, non alloy steels and straight
carbon steels. Characteristics of plain carbon steels: - Plain carbon steels are the moderately priced
steels due to the absence of large amount of alloying elements. - They are sufficiently ductile to readily
formed. - Plain carbon steels are available in almost all product forms: sheet , strip, bar , plated, pipe,
wire. Applications of plain carbon steels o Plain carbon steels are used for mass production products
such as automobiles and appliances. o They also find applications in the production of ball bearings base
plates housing, chutes , structural member etc. Classification of plain carbon steels: o Low –carbon steel:
those containg between 025 and 0.6 % carbon. o Medium – carbon steels: those content between 0.25
and 0.60% carbon. o High-carbon steels: those containing more than 0.6% carbon. Low carbon steels: o
The low carbon steels represent the largest tonnage of all the steel produced. o The cow-carbon steels
are those steels that contain less than about 0.25% carbon. o The low-carbon steels are also known as
mild steels. Characteristics of low carbon steels: o Low carbon steels are relatively soft and week. o They
can not by hardened appreciably by heat treatment. o They possess good formability and weldability .
Visit & Downloaded From : www.LearnEngineering.in Visit & Downloaded From :
www.LearnEngineering.in 16 o Strengthening of low carbon steels are accomplished by cold work. o
They have outstanding ductility and toughness. o The micro structure of low carbon steels consist of
ferrite and peralite constituents. o Of all steels , the low carbon steels are the least expensive to
produce. Medium carbon steels: o Medium carbon steels are those steels that have between 0.25 and
0.60% carbon. o The medium carbon steels may be heat treated, quenched and then tempered to
improve their mechanical properties. Characteristics of medium carbon steels: The main properties of
medium carbon steels are: 1. The plain medium-carbon steels have low hardenabilities. 2. In plain
medium carbon steels the high strength and hardness properties are achieved. Application of medium
carbon steels: The medium carbon steels include railway wheels, railway tracks, gears, crank shafts, and
other machine parts. HIGH-CARBON STEELS: High carbon steels are those steels that have more than
0.6%. Characteristics of high carbon steels: o High carbon steels are the hardest, and strongest of the
carbon steels. o They are the least ductile of the carbon steels. o They have more wear resistant. o They
are capable of holding a sharp cutting edge (which is very important properties for making tools).
Application of high carbon steels: The plain high carbon steels in clued cutting tools and dies (for
forming and shaping materials) knives, razors, hack saw blades, springs and high strength wire.
Compositions: Dead mile steel – 0.05 Mild steel - 0.08 – 0.15 Mild steel – 0.5 Mild steel – 0.1-0.3 Alloy
steels:In general terms, alloy steels mean any steels other than carbon steels. The steels products
manual defines alloy steels as steels that steels. Manganese -1.65, silicon – 0.6%, copper – 0.6% Alloying
elements: The most commonly used alloying elements are chromium, nickel , molybdenum, vanadium,
tungsten, cobalt, boron , copper and others. Purpose of Alloying: o To increase its strength o To improve
hardness Visit & Downloaded From : www.LearnEngineering.in Visit & Downloaded From :
www.LearnEngineering.in 17 o To improve toughness o To improve resistance to abrasion and wear o To
improve Machinability o To improve ductility o To achieve better electrical ad magnetic properties
Classification of Alloy steels: Alloy steels can be divided into two main groups. 1. Low alloy steels: these
contain upto 3 to 4% of alloying elements. 2. High alloy steels: These contain more than 5% of alloying
elements. Low Alloy Steels: o Low alloy steels are steels which contain upto 3% to 4% of one or more
alloying elements. o They have similar microstructure and require similar heat treatments to that of the
plain carbon steel. o They are also referred as pearlitic alloy steels as the normalised structure contains
the eutectoid pearlite. Types of low alloy steel: AISI steels and HSLA steels. AISI steels: o American Iron
and steel institute are steels that are generally used in machine construction. o AISI steels are
sometimes also referred as construction steels or structural steels. o AISI steel normally have less than
about 5% total addition of elements such as cr,Ni,Cu,n,Mo,V etc. HSLA steels: HSLA (high strength low,
alloy) steels, also known as micro alloyed steels, have been developed by making micro alloying
additions of the elements Al, Nb and V either singly or in combination to give a major gain refinement.
High Alloy steels: o High alloy steels are steels which contain more than 5% of one or more alloying
elements. o They have different microstructure and refine different heat treatment than that of the
plain carbon steels. o The room temperature structures after normalizing may be austenitic, martensitic
or contain precipitated carbides. Types of high alloy steels: o Tool and die steels-high quality o Stain less
steel to improving corrosion resistance
