Alloy Steel

Alloy Steel is widely used in various industries for various applications. The steel is alloyed with more than one element, which gives it added strength, durability and hardness. The alloying elements are added to the base iron and carbon structure to give its necessary resistance and strength. The alloy steel reflects various environmental and chemical properties. It also changes the physical properties to an extent and the mechanical property of the steel depends on the proportion of alloying elements.

Effects of Alloying

The primary objective of alloying the steel is to give more strength and resistance to wear. When additional elements are mixed to carbon steel, it can alter it in many ways. Mostly these alterations can affect microstructures, mechanical properties and heat treatment properties. When the carbon steel is been treated with other elements whether it is cold-formed, heat-treated or hot-rolled, it will expand the possibility of the carbon steel application. When an application requires high strength and durability, it is imperative to eliminated carbona s inherent brittleness, so the solution is to remove a certain amount of carbon from the steel and add manganese or nickel. This will make the steel strong and ready with the required weldability.

Types of Alloy Steel

Alloy steels principally are of two kinds of category a low-alloy steel and high-alloy steel. The proportion of alloying elements regulates the property of the steel. Low alloy steels have 8% or lower than alloying elements, whereas high-alloy steel has more than 8% of alloying elements. Stainless steel for example has a high alloying element, with at least 10.5% chromium by mass. This has the advantage of corrosion resistance. Nonetheless low-alloy steel has some subtle advantages such as free-machining and hardness.

Alloy Steel Products and Applications

Alloy steels are predominately used in various industries such as automobile, mining, machinery and equipment, railways and others. The product lines are hundreds in numbers and highly demanding in industries. Some of the alloy steel products are alloy steel pipes, tubes, alloy steel flanges, alloy steel forged fittings, alloy steel sheets and coils and many others.

Applications

• Alloy steels are used for modern infrastructures such as bridges, airports, skyscrapers, and others.
• Alloy steels reduce the overall weight of the structure, so it has been widely used in making residential as well as commercial buildings.
• Weathering steels have lots of advantages such as high safety, low maintenance, aesthetic looks etc.
• Alloy steel strips and coils are used in making wall and roof claddings, light steel frames, side rails and others.
