Very hard steel (e.g. chisels, quality knife blades): HRC 55–66 (Hardened High Speed Carbon and Tool Steels such as M2, W2, O1, CPM-M4, and D2, as well as many of the newer powder metallurgy Stainless Steels such as CPM-S30V, CPM-154, ZDP-189. There are alloys that hold a HRC upwards 68-70, such as the Hitachi developed HAP72.
A talented smith or metalworker can fine-tune the performance of a steel tool or item to precisely what is required based solely on careful observation of temper colours. A visual representation of this process may make the concept easier to understand. A masonry drill bit made of hardened steel. Hardened steel 3D printing nozzle
4340 steel is an ultra-high strength steel classified a medium-carbon, low-alloy steel. 4340 steel has high strength, ductility, toughness, creep resistance, and fatigue resistance relative to most other steels. Hardness ranging from 24 to 53 HRC can be achieved, depending on the heat treatment.
ArcelorMittal South Africa is part of the steel company Arcelor-Mittal. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The company was originally Iscor Ltd. , a South African parastatal steel company. It was founded in 1928 and was first listed on the JSE Securities Exchange in 1989.
AerMet alloy is an ultra-high strength type of martensitic [1] alloy steel. The main alloying elements are cobalt and nickel, but chromium, molybdenum and carbon are also added. Its exceptional properties are hardness, tensile strength, fracture toughness and ductility. [2] Aermet is weldable with no preheating needed. [3]
The Southern African Institute of Steel Construction (SAISC) is an organization which helps building and construction in South Africa by serving to promote and develop companies providing steel-related products and services to the industry. [1]
Hardened AW-6060 Aluminium: 75 HB Mild steel: 120 HB 18–8 (304) stainless steel annealed: 200 HB [3] Quenched and tempered steel wear plate: 400-700 HB Hardened tool steel: 600–900 HB (HBW 10/3000) Glass: 1550 HB Rhenium diboride: 4600 HB Note: Standard test conditions unless otherwise stated
It is 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) thick and produces a 64 Rockwell C hardness rating via a 500 °C (932 °F) nitride bath. [33] The final matte, non-glare finish meets or exceeds stainless steel specifications, is 85% more corrosion resistant than a hard chrome finish, and is 99.9% salt-water corrosion resistant. [34]
