How do you increase hardness of mild steel?
You heat your object until its hot red and then you cool it quickly in water
What is the equivalent of hard steel Creusabro 8000 in Hardox?
There is no equivalent of Creusabro® 8000 in Hardox. Creusabro® 8000 got the advantage of special metalurgical structure (chromium and molybdenum microcarbides) and efficient work hardening capability in service, coming from a metallurgic effect called TRIP effect (TRansformation Induced by Plasticity). Creusabro® 8000 contains retained austenite, which is transformed into very hard fresh martensite under the action of local plastic deformations. TRIP effect also participates in the delay of chip removal from the steel on exposure to abrasive particles.
Difference between forged steel and carbon steel?
Forged steel has been subject to high temperature and pressure forcing the crystal structure closer together and increasing tensile strength (used in high pressure gas compressors). Carbon steel is conventional steel produced by the Bessemer process. In the oil industry carbon steel is the default option for casing and tubing used in oil wells but it is not very resistant to corrosion. In wells with corrosive compounds such as H2S or CO2 it is often replaced by more expensive 13Cr steel (stainless).
Is mild steel ductile or brittle?
the tensile strength, hardness and yield strength of steel depends on the amount of carbon in it. this is because amount of pearlite increases linearly with % of C in steel from 0-0.77%. Elongation (ductility) is caused by the ferrite in the steel which forms plastic deformation. there are two ways of treating steel: 1) quenching- this is when red hot steel is rapidly cooled to R.T. this traps most of the carbon in the steel forming pearlite that makes it hard and brittle 2)Normalising- this is when red hot steel is cooled slowly to R.T and allows carbon to dislocate and form ferrite which makes it ductile. this is how mild steel is manufactured.
Draw stress strain curve for mild steel?
Mild steel usually contains predominantly of Ferrite structure and it has got good ductility. The difference in stress-strain curve of Mild steel to other ductile materials is that it undergoes Multiple yielding. it occurs due to the fact that C and N segregate to dislocations.
Why does hardened steel rust faster?
Hardened steel can rust faster than regular steel because the hardening process can disrupt the steel's natural corrosion resistance. This can lead to increased vulnerability to rust and other forms of deterioration. Hardened steel may also have more exposed surface area due to the hardening process, which can make it more prone to rusting.
Does Diffusion help hardening of steel?
yes

What is case hardening?
Case hardening or surface hardening is the process of hardening the surface of a metal, often a low carbon steel, by infusing elements into the material's surface, forming a thin layer of a harder alloy.
Does hardening of steel make it ductile or brittle?
more brittle

What are didadvantages of titanium?
Titanium is relatively expensive, work hardening, and softer then steel.
What is the full form of OHNS?
oil hardening non shrinkable stainless steel
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.
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.
Is the steel strain hardening exponent temperature dependent?
yes, with increased temp, the s.h.e decreaseshiAccording to your answer . I must say that as I know , when we anneald metals ( e.g. Iron ) the S.H.E increased while you can decreas it by cold-work .
Is Surface hardening better method to use or Annealing when these methods are used to manufacture products from ferrous metals?
These are two different methods that are opposites. Surface hardening is used to stiffen a steel. Usually a steel is heated, a catalyst is applied to the surface and then the steel is quenched in an oil bath or waterbath, this hardens the surface of the steel. Annealing on the other hand, the steel is heated and then allowed to cool slowly. This softens the steel and allows it to be drawn or hammered to form a different shape.
