Medium-carbon steels are those steels that have between 0.25 and 0.60% carbon.
MEDIUM-CARBON STEELS ✓ Medium-carbon steels are those steels that have between 0.25 and 0.60% carbon. ✓ The medium-carbon steels may be heat treated by austenitizing, quenching, and then tempering to improve their mechanical properties. The main properties of medium-carbon steels are as follows: 1. The plain medium-carbon steels have low hardenabilities. 2. In plain medium-carbon steels, the high strength and hardness properties are achieved (at the sacrifice of ductility and toughness). Typical applications of medium-carbon steels include railway wheels, railway tracks, gears, crankshafts, and other machine parts.1. What are Medium-Carbon Steels?
