How is high-carbon steel hardened?
Heat treating of high carbon steel to harden it is an instantaneous process. The steel is heated red hot, causing the formation of crystals of very hard type of Iron Carbide called "Martinsite". If cooled slowly, the Martensite reverts to iron and carbon again and the steel remains soft. But if cooled rapidly by plunging the red hot steel in water or oil, there is insufficient time for the Martinsite to break down to iron and carbon, and it remains as crystals of very hard Martinsite, imparting hardness to the steel.
Why crane hook materia is high carbon steel?
the main reason might be that the percentage of carbon increase the hardness of material (steel ) and ductility would decrease
Why hardenability of plain carbon steel is less?
hardness is defined as a resistance to plastic deformation or penatration.Hardness is defined as the ease with which hardness may be attained by quenching . It is also defined as the ability to develop maximum hardness by quenching.It is the process to have a hardened layer of marten site after quenching and also to have high hardness at same given depth. The material which having low critical cooling rate have high hardenability.The factors which reduce critical cooling rate increase the hardenability.alloy steels have low critical temperature. In plain carbon steels are contain not more than .5% of silicon and 1.5% of manganese.These steels are strong,tough,ductile and used in expensive materials.Increase in hardness and strength in plain carbon steel is depend upon the presence of carbon content.
Why temperature drop is high in low carbon steel than high carbon steel?
Because high carbon steel has low fluidity & low carbon steel has high fluidity.
Is high carbon steel stronger than tempered steel?
Tempered steel is not a classification of steel. It is a term used to indicate that the steel has undergone proper heat treatment in which case..yes, the steel that has been properly hardened and tempered would be stronger. This answer assumes that the high carbon steel is in its annealed state and has not received heat treatment and tempering of its own.
What is the hardness of 68 HRC mean?
The Rockwell C Hardness system uses "HRC" as a measure of hardness for various materials. A hardness of 68 HRC is extremely high and will most likely be harder than simple steel.
What is Rockwell C?
Answer Rockwell C is a method to measure the hardness of a metal object. The hardness of the metal is a direct correlation to its strength properties: i.e., Tensile Strength. The scales can be found in any engineering or matierals reference books. A test devise is used to strick a metal object with a small pointed hammer. The size of the dimple is compared to a chart to give you the Rockwell C hardness value. There are 3 charts for measuring hardness: A scale, B scale and Cscale. Rockwell C is for the hardest of metals such as very high strength steel. Rockwell A is for much softer materials including something as soft as clay, I believe. During manufacture, a hardness test will be performed to ensure that the finished product meets the design engineer's criteria to ensure the part.
Where can one purchase a Rockwell harness tester?
A Rockwell hardness tester can be purchased from several companies, both on the high street and online. Wilson Hardness and Newage Hardness Testing are two such suppliers. You may also be able to purchase testers from more general shops such as eBay and Amazon.

How was high speed steel discovered?
High speed steel is a general name for high alloy steels that retain their hardness at very high temperatures and are used for metal-cutting tools
What is the hardness of abrasion resistant steel plates?
Abrasion resistant steel plates are plates, which have a high strength and hardness, exhibiting strong resistance to wear and tear. The hardness of the plates is measured in term of brinellhardness. Abrasion resistant steel plates come in various hardness such as 400HB, 450HB, 500HB and 600HB. For more information on abrasion resistant steel plates, please feel free to visit us in the related link.
The use of carbon steel as a cutting-tool material is restricted because?
it loses hardness at high temperatures.
Is a 35 high on the Rockwell C Scale?
If 35 HRC is high on the Rockwell scale or not is quite relative to what you would define as high. A typical axe would rate at around 45-55 HRC, while high quality steel knives would rate at about 55-66 HRC.

What is iron hardness?
Pure iron is relatively soft and easily worked (malleable). Iron heated to high temperatures and alloyed with carbon and other elements is called steel, which can be made extremely hard and durable, but not easily worked.
What is soft iron hardness?
Pure iron is relatively soft and easily worked (malleable). Iron heated to high temperatures and alloyed with carbon and other elements is called steel, which can be made extremely hard and durable, but not easily worked.
What material is a clutch diaphragm made of?
High grade spring steel. (Hardness with some flexability, not "springs" like a conventional "pressure plate".)
