Steel hardness
In the metal industry, the “steel hardness” is called the mechanical resistance of steels and this is measured by tests using different methods and scales to determine the hardness. Some of the steel hardness test methods are: Brinell hardness, Knoop hardness, Rockwell hardness, Rosiwal hardness, Vickers hardness, among others. One of the most widely used […]
Manganese Steel
Manganese steel is a steel alloy that contains 12-14% manganese. Recognized for his high impact resistance and abrasion resistance in its hardened state, steel is often described as the ultimate work hardening steel. It is the most used alloy addition in the manufacture of steel and is present in practically all grades of steel. Manganese […]
Calmed steel
The designation “Calm steel” (or sometimes also called “resting steel”), is a steel subjected to a deoxidizing treatment by adding manganese, silicon or aluminum before casting. The objective of this operation is to significantly reduce or completely eliminate the oxygen content of the steel so that no gas is formed during the subsequent solidification process. […]
Austenitic steel
As the name itself indicates, austenitic steel is a specific type of stainless steel alloy that has austenite. The austenitic is obtained by adding elements from austenite, such as nickel, nitrogen or manganese. Austenitic stainless steels constitute the family with the largest number of alloys available, integrating the 200 and 300 AISI series. Its main qualities […]
