Alloy Steels
These steels have various elements added in small quantities to improve the material strength, hardenability, temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties. Any level of carbon can be combined with these alloying elements.
Many other alloys in various combinations are used to achieve specific properties. The ultimate tensile strength of alloy steels can vary from about 80 to 300 kpsi depending on its alloying elements and heat treatment. |
