Answer to Problem 1QAP

The properties and typical applications of 4 types of steels are given below:

Explanation of Solution

List the properties of low carbon steels:

  • Soft and weak (highly ductile).
  • Ease to machine (easily machinable).
  • Corrosion resistance is low.
  • Easily weldable.

List the applications of low carbon steels:

  • Structural shapes.
  • Screw and bolts.
  • Pipelines.
  • Bridges.
  • Tin plates.

List the properties of high carbon steels:

It contains larger than 10% of alloying elements, thus the properties of steel based upon the alloying metals.

  • High corrosion resistance.
  • Melting point is approximately 1000°C .
  • Low fracture toughness.
  • Difficult to weld.
  • The percentage of carbon presence is about 0.452.11% .

List the applications of high carbon steels:

  • Hammers.
  • Dies.
  • Chisels.
  • Screw drivers.
  • Knives.

List the properties of medium carbon steel:

  • Treatable under heat.
  • Moderate corrosion resistance.
  • Easily hardenable.
  • The strength lies between 1400-1600MPa .

List the applications of medium carbon steels:

  • connecting rods.
  • Rifle and guns.
  • Gears.
  • Machine parts.

List the properties of high carbon alloy steels:

  • Wear resistant.
  • Improved machinibilty upon adding of sulphur as an alloy.
  • Improved fracture toughness upon adding of nickel as an alloy.
  • High corrosion resistance.

List the applications of high alloy steels:

  • cutting tools.
  • surgical tools.
  • Machine parts.
  • Driller.
