Fig 20 Transmission electron micrograph showing the microstructure of 4130 steel water quenched from 900 °C (1650 °F) and tempered at 650 °C (1200 °F) Courtesy of F Woldow Figure 21 shows the range of hardness levels which may be obtained by tempering at various temperatures as a function of the carbon content of the steel The highest hardnesses for engineering applications are associated with the transition carbide microstructures produced by tempering at 150 °C (300 °F) These microstructures have excellent fatigue and wear resistance and are used for such applications as shafts, gears, and bearings The lowest hardnesses are associated with microstructures of spheroidized carbides in a matrix of equiaxed ferrite Steels with these microstructures are used when very high toughness or corrosion resistance (for example, resistance to H2S in oil field applications) is required Fig 21 Hardness as a function of carbon content in iron-carbon alloys quenched to martensite and tempered at various temperatures Source: Ref 31 Toughness, or fracture resistance, generally increases with tempering temperature, but various types of enbrittlement or reduced toughness can develop (Ref 2) Figure 22 shows impact toughness as a function of tempering temperature for selected sets of steels with high and low levels of phosphorus Carbon content has a major influence on toughness Medium-carbon tempered steels are quite tough, but high-carbon steels show very low impact toughness, which limits the application of hardened and tempered high-carbon steels to conditions of compressive loading without impact, such as in bearings The effect of carbon on the toughness of low-temperature tempered specimens correlates with increasing densities of transition carbides and associated high strain hardening rates as carbon content increasing (Ref 2) Fig 22 Charpy V-notch impact toughness as a function of tempering temperature for various alloy steels High phosphorus levels are about 0.02% and low phosphorus levels range between 0.002 and 0.009% Source: Ref 32, 33 Toughness reaches its peak in specimens tempered at 200 °C (390 °F); it drops to a minimum in specimens tempered around 300 °C (570 °F) This drop is referred to as tempered martensite embrittlement and is associated with the transformation of retained austenite to coarse carbide structures Tempered martensite embrittlement is exacerbated by phosphorus segregation to prior-austenite grain boundaries and carbide interfaces, but this effect appears to be constant over the entire tempering range (Fig 22) At higher tempering temperatures, between 350 and 550 °C (660 and 1020 °F), another embrittlement phenomenon may develop in steels containing phosphorus, antimony, or tin (Ref 34) This embrittlement is referred to as temper embrittlement, and requires long holding times or slow cooling through the embrittling temperature range Alloy steels are most susceptible, and the cosegregation of the alloying elements with the impurities to prior austenite grain boundaries has been documented (Ref 35) References cited in this section G Krauss, Steels: Heat Treatment and Processing

Quenched and Tempered Microstructures Hardened steels with tempered martensitic microstructures are most frequently used in machine components that require high strength and excellent fatigue resistance under conditions of cyclic loading Figure 23 shows a typical processing sequence for these components Hot-rolled bars are received and forged, generally at high temperatures where deformation into complex shapes is readily accomplished The forgings are air cooled, and ferrite-pearlite microstructures develop upon cooling to room temperature A normalizing treatment to refine the coarse microstructures that originated because of high-temperature forging may be required, or a spheroidizing treatment to produce a microstructure of ferrite and spheroidized cementite may be applied if extensive machining prior to hardening is required The forgings are then austenitized, quenched to martensite, and tempered to the properties described in the preceding section Straightening and stress relieving operations may be applied if required Fig 23 Temperature-time processing schedules for producing quench and tempered forgings Processing: Direct-Cooled Forging Microstructures To reduce the number of processing steps associated with producing quenched and tempered microstructures, new alloying approaches have been developed to produce high-strength microstructures directly during cooling after forging Figure 24 shows a schematic of such a processing approach and an alternate processing sequence that cold finishes hotrolled bars Eliminating heat treatment processing steps by direct cooling relative to quenching and tempering has obvious advantages Fig 24 Temperature-time schedule for producing direct-cooled forgings and cold-finished bars One group of steels that has been developed for direct cooling is microalloyed medium-carbon steels (see Ref 36, 37 and the article "High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel Forgings" in this Volume) These steels contain small amounts of vanadium and niobium and transform to precipitation-hardened microstructures of ferrite and pearlite The hardness produced by rapid air cooling ranges from 25 to 30 HRC depending on the extent of precipitation and pearlite in the microstructure; ultimate strength values are over 690 MPa (100 ksi) Thus, the hardness and strength levels are not as high as can be produced by quenching and low-temperature tempering, but they are more than adequate for many automotive applications that require intermediate strengths (Ref 36) The fatigue resistance of direct-cooled microalloyed steels is comparable to that of quenched and tempered steels of the same hardness, but the impact toughness is much lower This reduced toughness is due to the well-known increase in the ductile-to-brittle temperature in steels with ferrite-pearlite microstructures as pearlite content increases (Fig 25) In order to improve the toughness of direct-cooled forging steels, steels that transform to bainitic structures and forging steels with lower carbon concentrations and finer ferrite-pearlite microstructures are being developed (Ref 38) Fig 25 Impact transition curves as a function of carbon content in normalized steels Increase in ductile-tobrittle transition temperatures with increasing carbon content is due to increasing amounts of pearlite Source: Ref

Technical Paper 890508, Society of Automotive Engineers, 1989 Summary This article has briefly described the major microstructures and the phase transformations by which these microstructures are developed in carbon and low-alloy steels Each type of microstructure and product is developed to characteristic property ranges by specific processing routes that control and exploit microstructural changes The incorporation of steel carbon content into microstructure has a profound effect on microstructure and properties, and steels fall naturally into low-strength/high ductility/high toughness or high-strength/high fatigue resistant/low toughness groups with increasing carbon content The use of new casting techniques, microalloying, and thermomechanical processing are being used increasingly to reduce processing steps and to improve steel product microstructures and quality References 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 G Krauss, Physical Metallurgy and Heat Treatment of Steel, in

"New Options for Steel Selection for Automotive Applications," SAE Technical Paper 890508, Society of Automotive Engineers, 1989 Introduction STEELS constitute the most widely used category of metallic material, primarily because they can be manufactured relatively inexpensively in large quantities to very precise specifications They also provide a wide range of mechanical properties, from moderate yield strength levels (200 to 300 MPa, or 30 to 40 ksi) with excellent ductility to yield strengths exceeding 1400 MPa (200 ksi) with fracture toughness levels as high as 110 MPa m (100 ksi in ) This article will review the various systems used to classify carbon and low-alloy steels*, describe the effects of alloying elements on the properties and/or characteristics of steels, and provide extensive tabular data pertaining to designations of steels (both domestic and international) More detailed information on the steel types and product forms discussed in this article can be found in the articles that follow in this Section Note * The term low-alloy steel rather than the more general term alloy steel is being used to differentiate the steels covered in this article from high-alloy steels High-alloy steels include steels with a high degree of fracture toughness (Fe-9Ni-4Co), which are described in the article "Ultrahigh-Strength Steels" in this Section of the Handbook They also include maraging steels (Fe-18Ni-4Mo-8Co), austenitic manganese steels (Fe-1C12Mn), tool steels, and stainless steels, which are described in separate articles in the Section "Specialty Steels and Heat-Resistant Alloys" in this Volume Classification of Steels Steels can be classified by a variety of different systems depending on: • • • • • • • • • The composition, such as carbon, low-alloy, or stainless steels 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 The deoxidation practice, such as killed, semikilled, capped, or rimmed steel The microstructure, such as ferritic, pearlitic, and martensitic (Fig 1) 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 Fig Classification of steels Source: D.M Stefanescu, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa Of the aforementioned classification systems, chemical composition is the most widely used internationally and will be emphasized in this article Classification systems based on deoxidation practice and quality descriptors will also be reviewed Information pertaining to the microstructural characteristics of steels can be found in the article "Microstructures, Processing, and Properties of Steels" in this Volume and in Metallography and Microstructures, Volume of
