Are distinguished
from conventional
steels by their high
tensile strength
and high elastic
limit.
are alloys of iron
and carbon that
contain the BCC
crystalline
structure at room
temperature.
The main advantages
of high strength steels
are their extremely
high strengths and
stiffness.
Microalloyed steels
they are
obtained by
adding, in small
amounts,
elements such as
titanium,
vanadium or
niobium, which
replace iron
atoms in the
crystalline matrix
of the steel,
increasing the
resistance levels.
Refosphorous steels
Its hardening is achieved
by the use of solid
elements, such as
phosphorus, in a
percentage of around
0.12%.
One of its main
characteristics is that it
facilitates drawing and
surface appearance.
Thermoset steels
known as bake
hardening,
provides a gain
in its tensile
strength and
elastic limit,
thereby
reducing the
thickness
without loss of
strength.
Gap Free Steels (IF)
Its hardening is
due to the solid
solution of
manganese,
silicon and
phosphorus in the
ferrite. heir high
mechanical
resistance ensures
good resistance to
fatigue and
shocks
Isotropic steels
hey are a range of
steels in which a
good
conformation is
achieved
associated with
greater resistance
to biting.
Steels by
induced plastic
transformation
(TRIP)
They
present
breaking
stresses
greater
than 550
Mpa
Multiphase steels
This type of steels
has the same
properties as Double
Phase and TRIP
steels, additionally
incorporating small
amounts of niobium,
titanium and / or
vanadium, which
cause an increase in
resistance.
Repair of high-strength
steel parts
ts thickness is less, so the veneer rework must
be reduced to small and precise blows so as not
to cause overstretching of the material
The techniques of direct hitting of
the hammer against the tas should
be avoided
Second Digit: It is a number that indicates the presence of other alloying elements.
digits 3 and 4: Indicate the average content in hundredths of Carbon.
When a letter is observed at the beginning of the digit, it indicates the process that was used to make the steel:
A = Basic open hearth steel B = Bessemer carbon acid steel C = Basic steel of oxygen converters
D = Open hearth carbon acid steel E = Electric furnace steel
Maraging Steels
are a class of high strength
steels with very low carbon
contents (0.030%
maximum) and additions
of substitutional alloying
elements that produce age
hardening of iron–nickel
martensites.
