hi, i have a steel block with an unussual composition. does anyone know if this is any particular type?c- .6%, si - .33%, mn - .6%, sulphur - .014%, phosphorous - .013%, ni - 1.69%, Cr, 1.07%, molybdenum - .67%
You have opened a can of worms. Specific types of steel vary not only by composition but by the way they were made, their physical properties and their morphology (microscopic structure). The composition you have given would fit for High Carbon Steel and Medium Carbon Steel. Go to the reference I've given, it allows you to put in 3 of the components of your alloy and then it gives you a list of possibilities. You can open each candidate individually and see the full composition. Hours of fun. :)
