Heat-Resistant Steel Mechanical Properties at Room Temperature
Heat-resistant steel is a type of alloy steel with superior heat resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance compared to other steels. It is mainly used in the production of high-temperature parts, power station boilers, and petrochemical equipment. Because of its excellent heat and oxidation resistance, it is widely used in high-temperature applications such as heat exchangers, boilers, and steam turbines.
Heat-resistant steel is a type of steel with an improved chemical composition and mechanical properties, especially in terms of strength, toughness and hardness. Heat treatment of heat-resistant steel mainly includes solution treatment and aging treatment. Solution treatment is to heat the steel to above its critical temperature, and then it rapidly cools in the air. Aging treatment is to heat the steel to a certain temperature, and then cool it slowly in air.
The mechanical properties of heat-resistant steel are mainly reflected in its yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, impact toughness, hardness and fatigue characteristics. The yield strength is the stress that the material can still bear without permanently deforming. The tensile strength is the maximum load the material can bear before it breaks. The elongation is the amount the material can be extended before breaking. The impact toughness is the ability of the steel to absorb energy in impact loading and resists brittle fracture. The hardness is the resistance of the material to deformation or abrasion. The fatigue characteristics show the time-dependent properties of steel under cyclic loads.
Heat-resistant steels have high strength at room temperature, good thermal and mechanical performance, good oxidation and wear resistance, and good corrosion resistance. The microstructure of heat-resistant steel mainly includes martensite, upper bainite, lower bainite and ferrite, etc. The main alloying elements in heat-resistant steel are manganese, chromium, nickel and molybdenum.
Heat-resistant steel has a wide range of mechanical properties at room temperature, including high yield strength, tensile strength, impact toughness and fatigue characteristics. The yield strength and tensile strength of heat-resistant steel at room temperature are usually between 950 ~ 1250 MPa, and the elongation is usually 21 to 25%. The impact toughness of heat-resistant steel at room temperature is usually greater than 200 J/cm2. The hardness of heat-resistant steel at room temperature is usually HRC20-45. The fatigue characteristics of heat-resistant steel at room temperature show a characteristic curve composed of a slope and a flat portion. When the fatigue limit value is smaller than the static limit value, it indicates that the steel material has a good fatigue life.
In conclusion, heat-resistant steel has good mechanical properties at room temperature. It has high yield strength, tensile strength, impact toughness and fatigue properties. Heat-resistant steel has excellent heat and oxidation resistance, and is widely used in high-temperature applications. Man
