Increasing the hardness of a material typically minimizes its vulnerability to friction. However, this can then reduce the toughness of the steel and increase its susceptibility to fracture. High ...

Its S890QL high-yield steel is uniquely suited for use in the mining industry. High carbon contents of up to 0.20 % and ...

Steels that contain specified amounts of alloying elements -- other than carbon and the commonly accepted amounts of manganese, copper, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus -- are known as alloy steels.

There are three basic distinctions among carbon steel grades, referred to as low-carbon, medium-carbon, and high-carbon steels. Carbon steel consists of numerous different grades that offer different ...

One of the features that characterize stainless steels is a minimum 10.5% chromium content as the principal alloying element. Four major categories of wrought stainless steel, based on metallurgical ...

An axleshaft’s overall strength is determined by what Randy’s Ring & Pinion calls DMD: diameter, materials, design. We’ll start with materials. Most readers know that steel is a generic name for ...
