Hardenability of Steels and Cast Irons
-
Published:2024
Abstract
Hardening and depth of hardening of steel is a critically important material and process design parameter. This article presents a selective overview of experimental and predictive procedures to determine steel hardenability. It also covers the breadth of steel hardenability, ranging from shallow, to very difficult to harden, to air-hardening steels.
