Alloy Steels (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Alloy Steels The Chromium Refines The Grain Of The Steel Remarkably, Owing To Its Tendency To Prevent The Development Of A Crystalline Structure. In The Annealed State, Every Increase Of Chromium Up To A Content Of Per Cent Raises The Tensile Strength, While The Elastic Limit Is Gradually Raised Until A Chromium Content Of Per Cent Is Reached. This Latter Remains Constant Until The Chromium Content Has Passed 9 Per Cent, But After This A Rapid Reduction Takes Place. In The Hardened Steels, Both The Tensile Strength And The Elastic Limit Increase Until A Chromium Percentage Of Per Cent Has Been Reached, And Beyond This Point Both Gradually Decline.
