What is the chemical composition of metal en-45?
en 45 is a silicon mangenese spring steel, supplied in the as rolled contition. This steel is suitable for oil hardening and tempering.
What is tempering of steel?
molding
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 temperate?
Australia
What is toughening process in steel?
One can describe the process of case hardening of mild steel by adding carbon particles while tempering the steel. The outside of steel will become hard which form the case and inside the metal, it remains soft.
Why do you heat treat?
You heat treat to improve the molecular structure of the steel. In the untreated state steel is very soft and is relatively easy to bend but when hardened the steel become very hard and brittle. The steel is so brittle after hardening that if say dropped on a concrete floor it may shatter. Tempering relieves some of this stress and makes the steel hard but not too hard.
What happens on a molecular level when tempering steel?
Grain Size of the steel get changed. Steel Become more hard and it become brittle.
Does Diffusion help hardening of steel?
yes

Difference between air hardening and stainless steel?
There isn't really a difference since a piece of steel can both stainless and air hardened. Stainless steel is a steel alloy with a minimum of 10% chromium content by mass. Metals can be hardened in a variety of ways. They may be work hardened, tempered, air or oil hardened, for example. Tempering, or the systematic heating, cooling and reheating of a material is one technique that might be used to harden steel.
Why is steel better than bronze?
Because of carburization, quenching(heat treatment of steel) and tempering of quenched steel.
