Low Alloy Steel Castings
Low alloy steels exhibit mechanical properties superior to plain carbon steels as the result of additions of alloying elements such as nickel, chromium and molybdenum.
Other elements may be added in small amounts
Properties which can be improved include:
| 1) |
Tensile and yield strength. |
| |
|
| 2) |
Low temperature impact properties. |
| |
|
| 3) |
Oxidation resistance. |
| |
|
| 4) |
Corrosion resistance. |
| |
|
| 5) |
Elevated temperature tensile properties. |
| |
|
| 6) |
Creep resistance. |
