The performance of structural steel can beenhanced through three basic mechanisms, i.e.

the introduction of interstitial and

the generation and concentration ofdislocations at the grain boundaries (work or

strain hardenin

the formation of additional grain boundaries.

Hi h Stren th Low-Allo Steel

HSLA steel have moderate amount of alloying elementsother than carbon. The term low-alloy is used to describesteel for which the total of all the alloying elements does

not exceed 5% of the total composition. These steel have been develo ed as a com romise

between the convenient fabrication characteristics of the

low cost mild carbon steel and the high cost of heat-treatedalloy steel.

HSLA steel have ield stresses ran in from 275 to 460

MPa, and well-defined yield points like mild carbon steel.They are used in the as-rolled or heat-treated in thenormalized conditions.

28


29/73

emper ng

To refine the microstructures and partially relieveresidual stresses, quenching is normally followed by

emperng. Tempering consists of normally reheating the steel to

370-6500C and cooling it in ai .

As a result, the internal stresses are partially relievedand the ductility as well as toughness are improvedremarkably, without great reduction in the strength.

29


30/73

Annealing

Annealing, also called stress relieving, is a treatmentopposite to hardening (quenching).

It is achieved by heating the steel to a temperatureabove the transformation ran e (hi he thantempering), and after maintains the specific

temperature for a sufficient time, cooling the steelvery slowly in the furnace.

This rocess im roves the ductilit of the steel and

decreases residual stresses but on the other hand,reduces the yield strength, tensile strength andhardness accordingly.

orma z ng

Normalizing includes heating a ferrous alloy to asuitable temperature above the transformation

temperature range and cooling in ai . It is used to refine rains which have been deformed

through cold work. During normalizing, small grains

are formed which lead to a tough metal with normalstrength, but it is not so ductile as steel achieved byannealing.

Strictly speaking, normalizing is an annealing process.

Thermo-Mechanical Controlled Process

(TMCP)TMCP combines controlled rolling with accelerated coolingfor grain refinement.

Improved weldability thanks to lower CEV

TMCP steel cannot be normalized (or annealed)

After hot rolling the deformed structure

engineering behavior and properties can be obtained byusing and combining various strengthening and heattreatment processes.

Boron-treated carbon and alloy steel should not be usedbecause it is not possible to be certified. Be more careful with hot-finished rectangular hollow

Select your steel from the list of certified steel materials inBC1: 2012.
