Steel - Introduction
Steels can be classified by a variety of different systems
depending on:
• The composition,
– such as carbon, low-alloy or stainless steel.
• The manufacturing methods,
– such as open hearth, basic oxygen process, or
electric furnace methods.
• The finishing method,
– such as hot rolling or cold rolling
• The product form,
– such as bar plate, sheet, strip, tubing or structural
shape

Steel – Introduction ….. Contd.
• The deoxidation practice,
– such as killed, semi-killed – capped, and rimmed
steel
• The microstructure,
– such as ferritic, pearlitic and martensitic
• The required strength level,
– as specified in ASTM standards
• The heat treatment,
– such as annealing, quenching and tempering, and
thermomechanical processing
• Quality descriptors,
– such as forging quality and commercial quality

Carbon Steel
• The American Iron and Steel Institute
(AISI) defines carbon steel as follows:
– Steel is considered to be carbon steel when
no minimum content is specified or required
for chromium, cobalt, columbium [niobium],
molybdenum, nickel, titanium, tungsten,
vanadium or zirconium, or any other element
to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect.

Carbon steel
• increasing carbon content leading to,
– increased hardness and strength
– increases brittleness and reduces weldability .
• Carbon steels ( Max 2% C) are generally
categorized according to their carbon content.
– low-carbon steels ( < 0,30 % C)
– medium-carbon steels ( 0,30% – 0,45% C)
– high-carbon steels( 0,45% - 0,75% C)
– ultrahigh-carbon steels ( Up to 1,5 % C)

Classification of carbon steel-Designation system:
• American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) together with
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have
established four-digit (with additional letter prefixes)
designation system:
• SAE 1XXX
• First digit 1 indicates carbon steel (2-9 are used for alloy steels);
• Second digit indicates modification of the steel.
– 0 - Plain carbon, non-modified
– 1 - Resulfurized
– 2 - Resulfurized and rephosphorized
– 5 - Non-resulfurized, Mn over 1.0%
• Last two digits indicate carbon concentration in 0.01%.

Alloy Steel - Introduction,
Alloying
Changing chemical composition of steel by adding elements
with purpose to improve its properties as compared to the
plane Carbon steel.
Alloy Steels are irons where other elements (besides
carbon) can be added to iron to improve:
Mechanical property - Increase strength, hardness,
toughness (a given strength & hardness),
creep, and high temp resistance.
Increase wear resistance,
Environmental property [Eg: corrosion].

Classification of alloy steel
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 19
Alloy steels grouped into low, medium and
high alloy steels.
High-alloy steels would be the stainless steel groups.
Most alloy steels in use fall under the category of low alloy
Alloy steels are, in general, with elements as:
> 1.65%Mn, > 0.60% Si, or >0.60% Cu.
The most common alloy elements includes:
Chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium,
tungsten, cobalt, boron, and copper
Classification of alloy steel
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 20
Low Alloys: Low Carbon
•Composition:
• less than ~ 0,25% C ( 0,30%)
•Microstructure:
•ferrite and pearlite
•Properties:
•relatively soft and weak, but possess high ductility and toughness
•Other features: machinable and weldable, not responsive to heat
treatment - Plain carbon steels
Applications: auto-body components, structural shapes, sheets etc.
• High-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels:
• up to 10 wt% of alloying elements, such as Mn, Cr, Cu, V, Ni, Mo –
can be strengthened by heat-treatment
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 21
Low Alloys: Medium Carbon Steels
• Composition:
– 0.25< C <0.6 C wt.%
• Microstructure:
– typically tempered martensite
• Processing: Increasing the carbon content to approximately
0.5% with an accompanying increase in manganese allows
medium carbon steels to be used in the quenched and tempered
condition.
• Properties: stronger than low-carbon steels, but in expense of
ductility and toughness
• Applications: couplings, forgings, gears, crankshafts other
high-strength structural components. Steels in the 0.40 to
0.60% C range are also used for rails, railway wheels and rail
axles.
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 22
Low Alloys: High&Ultra High - Carbon Steels
• High-carbon steels
0.60 to 1.00 % C with manganese contents ranging
from 0.30 to 0.90%.
Application: High-carbon steels are used for spring
materials, high-strength wires, cutting tools and etc.
Ultrahigh-carbon steels are experimental alloys
containing 1.25 to 2.0% C. These steels are thermo-
mechanically processed to produce microstructures
that consist of ultra-fine, equiaxed grains of spherical,
discontinuous proeutectoid carbide particles.
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 23
High-Alloy Steels: Stainless Steels (SS)
• The primarily-alloying element is Cr (≥11 wt.%)
• Highly resistance to corrosion;
– Nickel and molybdenum additions INCREASE
corrosion resistance
• A property of great importance is the ability of alloying
elements to promote the formation of a certain phase or to
stabilize it.
– These elements are grouped as four major classes:
1. austenite-forming,
2. ferrite-forming,
3. carbide-forming and
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 24
Distribution of alloying elements in steels.
• Alloying elements can influence the equilibrium
diagram in two ways in ternary systems Fe-C-X.
1. Expanding the γ -field, and encouraging the
formation of austenite over wider compositional
limits. These elements are called γ -stabilizers.
2. Contracting the γ-field, and encouraging the
formation of ferrite over wider compositional limits.
These elements are called α-stabilizers.

4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 28
Nickel and manganese
depress the phase
transformation from γ to α to
lower temperatures
both Ac1 and Ac3 are lowered.
It is also easier to obtain
metastable austenite by
quenching from the γ-region to
room temperature
A. Open  - field: austenitic steels.
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 29
B. Expanded  -field : austenitic steels
Carbon and nitrogen (Copper,
zinc and gold)
The γ-phase field is expanded
Heat treatment of steels,
allowing formation of a
homogeneous solid solution
(austenite) containing up to
2.0 wt % of carbon or 2.8 wt
% of nitrogen
Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 30
C. Closed  -field : ferritic steels
Silicon, aluminium, beryllium and
phosphorus (strong carbide forming
elements - titanium, vanadium,
molybdenum and chromium )
γ-area contract to a small area referred
to as the gamma loop
 encouraging the formation of BCC
iron (ferrite),
Not amenable to the normal heat
treatments involving cooling through the
γ/α-phase transformation
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 31
D. Contracted  -field : ferritic steels
• Boron is the most significant element of
this group (carbide forming elements -
tantalum, niobium and zirconium.
• The γ-loop is strongly contracted
• Normally elements with opposing
tendencies will cancel each other out at
the appropriate combinations, but in
some cases irregularity occur. For
example, chromium added to nickel in a
steel in concentrations around 18%
helps to stabilize the γ-phase, as shown
by 18Cr8Ni austenitic steels.

Low Alloys - Summary
4/27/2015 Engineering Materals II (MEng 2122) 47
Effect of alloying elements
• Rule of thumb: Chromium (Cr) makes steel
hard whereas Nickel (Ni) and Manganese
(Mn) make it tough.
• Note that:
– 2% C, 12% Cr tool steel grade - very hard and
hard-wearing
– 0,10% C and 12% Cr - Modest hardening
– 13% manganese steel, so-called Hadfield steel
- increases steel toughness
– Mn between l% and 5%, however - toughness
may either increase or decrease

Molybdenum is strong carbide former. It has a strong effect on
hardenability and high temperature hardness. Molybdenum also
increases the tensile strength of low carbon steels.
5XXX Chromium steels
Chromium is a ferrite strengthener in low carbon steels. It
increases the core toughness and the wear resistance of the case in
carburized steels.
