The quality and performance of the steel are determined according to the needs. Different needs have different elements.
(1) Carbon; the higher the carbon content, the higher the hardness, but the worse its plasticity and toughness.
(2) Sulfur; it is a harmful impurity in steel. When steel with high sulfur content is subjected to pressure processing at high temperature, it is easy to be brittle and is usually called hot brittleness.
(3) Phosphorus; can significantly reduce the plasticity and toughness of steel, especially at low temperatures. This phenomenon is called cold brittleness. In high-quality steel, sulfur and phosphorus should be strictly controlled. But from another perspective, The inclusion of high sulfur and phosphorus in low carbon steel can make the cutting easy to break, which is beneficial to improve the machinability of steel.
(4) Manganese; can improve the strength of steel, can weaken and eliminate the adverse effects of sulfur, and can improve the hardenability of steel. High alloy steel (high manganese steel) with high manganese content has good wear resistance. And other physical properties.
(5) Silicon; it can increase the hardness of steel, but the plasticity and toughness decrease. The steel used in electrical engineering contains a certain amount of silicon, which can improve the soft magnetic properties.
(6) Tungsten; can improve the red hardness and heat strength of steel, and can improve the wear resistance of steel.
(7) Chromium; can improve the hardenability and wear resistance of steel, and can improve the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of steel.
(8) Vanadium; can refine the grain structure of steel, improve the strength, toughness and wear resistance of steel. When it is melted into austenite at high temperature, it can increase the hardenability of steel; otherwise, when it is carbonized When the form of matter exists, it will reduce its hardenability.
(9) Molybdenum; can obviously improve the hardenability and heat strength of steel, prevent temper brittleness, and improve remanence and coercivity.
(10) Titanium; can refine the grain structure of steel, thereby improving the strength and toughness of steel. In stainless steel, titanium can eliminate or reduce the intergranular corrosion phenomenon of steel.
(11) Nickel; can improve the strength and toughness of steel, improve the hardenability. When the content is high, it can significantly change some physical properties of steel and alloy, and improve the corrosion resistance of steel.
(12) Boron; when the steel contains a trace amount of (0.001 - 0.005%) boron, the hardenability of the steel can be doubled.
(13) Aluminum; can refine the grain structure of steel, suppress the aging of low carbon steel, improve the toughness of steel at low temperature, improve the oxidation resistance of steel, improve the wear resistance and fatigue strength of steel.
(14) copper; its outstanding role is to improve the atmospheric corrosion resistance of ordinary low alloy steel, especially when combined with phosphorus.
