Properties Of Alloy Steels

The following table shows the percentages of carbon, manganese,

nickel, chromium and vanadium in typical steel alloys for engineering

purposes. It also gives the elastic limit, tensile strength, elongation

and reduction of area of the various alloys, all being given the same

heat treatment with a drawing temperature of 1,100 deg.F. (600 deg.C.). The

specimens were one inch rounds machined after heat treatment.



Tungsten is not shown in the table because it is seldom used in

engineering construction steels and then usually in combination

with chromium. Tungsten is used principally for the magnets of

magnetos, to some extent in the manufacture of hacksaws, and for

special tool steels.
