A Study Of High Strength, Heat Treated Plain Carbon Steels, Ing Shing Chien
Masters Theses
"This work was undertaken as the initial step in a program of studying brittleness in carbon steel that has been heat treated to high strength levels.
The trend in modern technology is toward higher tensile strengths. In practice, only alloy steels are commonly heat treated to very high strength levels. AISI 4340 is one of the more commonly used steels when high strength is desired. It is also becoming almost standard practice to use some of the tool steels or highly alloyed maraging steels for high strength structural components.
For this study high strength in a heat treated steel is …
