Low-carbon martensitic steels. Alloying and properties

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Requirements on the structure of a steel with structural strength and a set of characteristics higher than those of medium-carbon steels with a structure of tempered sorbite are formulated. Principles for choosing compositions for process-adaptable low-carbon martensitic steels are presented. The combination of carbon and alloying elements providing high stability of austenite in the ranges of normal and intermediate transformations is determined, which makes it possible to obtain lath martensite in slow cooling.
