High Strength, High Toughness and High Hardness Steels
It is widely accepted that high strength and high toughness steels are the key to achieving efficient and cost effective structures. High strength and high toughness steels are generally understood to refer to steels characterized by tensile strength, hardness and ductility. Such steels are widely employed in the framework of an array of applications and have been essential in the development of modern manufacturing and fabrication processes.
High strength steels are generally produced through the precise combination of alloying elements such as carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, and other metals. Through the application of appropriate heat-treating temperatures and quench rates, high strength steels can be produced with charac
