hardenability in a sentence
Examples
- Its hardenability is low, so W-group tool steels must be subjected to a rapid quenching, requiring the use of water.
- This value can be roughly approximated as 65 % of the total case depth; however the chemical composition and hardenability can affect this approximation.
- These alloys increase the steels'hardenability, and thus require a less severe quenching process and as a result are less likely to crack.
- Subsequent to cooling a flat surface is ground on the test piece and the hardenability is then found by measuring the hardness along the bar.
- The following carbon equivalent formula is used to determine if a spot weld will fail in high-strength low-alloy steel due to excessive hardenability:
- These mild steels are not normally hardenable due to the low quantity of carbon, so the surface of the steel is chemically altered to increase the hardenability.
- A material's work hardenability can be predicted by analyzing a stress-strain curve, or studied in context by performing hardness tests before and after a process.
- The following is a range of improved properties in alloy steels ( as compared to carbon steels ) : strength, hardness, toughness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, hardenability, and hot hardness.
- The most important material properties for the dies are thermal shock resistance and softening at elevated temperature; other important properties include hardenability, machinability, heat checking resistance, weldability, availability ( especially for larger dies ), and cost.
- This formula has been found suitable for predicting hardenability in a large range of commonly used plain carbon and carbon-manganese steels, but not to microalloyed high-strength low-alloy steels or low-alloy Cr-Mo steels.
