heat-treatable cast steel
Cast steel for heat treatment counts among low-alloyed materials, which consist besides of carbon also of further alloy elements at a concentration of not more than five mass per cent for one element. These alloy supplements, which are often chromium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel and vanadium, are contributing to the breaking and fatigue stress of steel and ensure the complete hardening of casts with greater wall thickness.
Cast steels for heat treatment are within the founding procedure in general brittle, coarse-grained and inhomogeneous and therefore they must go through heat treatment, also known as annealing. Here parameters are formed via a two-phase after treatment according to mechanic requirements for the later cast piece.
