What is Steel?Steel is an alloy in which iron is mixed with

carbon and other elements.

An Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties.

An Alloy usually has different properties (sometimes significantly different) from those of its components.


5

Iron is mentioned in the Holy Quran 6 times:

1. Surah Bani Israil (17:50)

2. Surah Al Kahf ( 18: 96)

3. Surah Al Anbiya.. (21:22)

4. Surah Saba (34:10)

5. Surah Qaf (50:22)

6. Surah Al-Hadid (57:25)

Mention of Iron in Holy Quran

CE-411: Lecture 02 Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan 6

Mention of Iron in Holy QuranAl-Hadeed (Sura 57:25)

We have indeed sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and sent down with them the book and the balance, so that people may uphold equity. And we sent down iron in which there is strong power, and benefits for the people; and (We did it) so that ALLAH knows who helps Him and his messengers without seeing (Him). Surely ALLAH is Strong, Mighty.

Chemical Reactions in Blast Furnace

Iron (III) Oxide + Carbon Monoxide Iron + Carbon Dioxide

Fe2O3(s) +3 CO(g) 2 Fe(s)+3 CO2(g) (At 1500o C)

Calcium Carbonate Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide

CaCO3(s) CaO(s)+CO2(g)

This oxide helps to remove some of the

acidic impurities from the ore



11

Calcium Oxide (g) + Silica (s) Calcium Silicate (l)

CaO(s) + SiO2(s) CaSiO3 (l)

The metal that leaves the Blast Furnace contains between 4%

and 5% Carbon and is brittle. This carbon and other impurities are removed in the next step.


Chemical Reactions in Blast Furnace


12

Removal of Impurities by Oxidation

o The Bessemer process named after its Inventor Henry Bessemer who invented the process in 1855

o The key principle is removal of excess carbon and impurities by injection of oxygen through molten iron

o Oxidizing excess carbon and impurities also keeps the metal molten.

14

Treatments and Processes Affecting Steel Properties

o Quenching

Quenching refers to heating steel to below a critical temperature, holding that temperature and then rapidly cooling it in a desirable medium such as air water or oil to obtain desired hardness property.


15


o Tempering

Tempering refers to heating steel above a critical temperature, then cooling it rapidly to freeze it in a very hard state followed by rewarming it to an intermediate temperature to give a hardness suitable for the job intended.


16

o Annealing

Heating (usually up to 1150o F) followed by cooling of steel in solid state to relieve the residual stresses and to enhance ductility.



17

o Killed Steel

It indicates that the steel has been completely deoxidized by the addition of an agent such as silicon or aluminum, before casting, so that there is practically no evolution of gas during solidification. These are characterized by a high degree of chemical homogeneity and freedom from porosity.



18

o Rimmed Steel

A low-carbon steel containing sufficient iron oxide to give a continuous evolution of carbon monoxide while the ingot is solidifying. Incomplete oxidation allows the metal at the top of the ingot to remain liquid while solidifying in formation of a bottom and side rim of virtually pure iron of considerable thickness virtually free of voids. Sheet and strip products made from rimmed steel ingots have very good surface quality.



19

o Work Hardening

An increase in strength and hardness attained by stressing the steel to cause plastic deformations at lower temperatures.



20

Effect of Carbon percentage on Steel Properties

o Carbon has a major effect on steel properties. Carbon is the primary hardening element in steel. Hardness and tensile strength increases as carbon content increases up to about 0.85%.


Type of Steel %age of Carbon

Mild Steel Up to 0.25%

Medium Carbon Steel 0.25% to 0.45%

High Carbon Steel 0.45% to 1.50%

• Adding metals such as nickel, chromium, and tungsten to iron produces a wide range of alloy steels, including stainless steel and high speed steels.

Effect of Carbon percentage on Steel Properties


22

Mechanical Properties of Structural Steels

o Most widely used standards for structural materials are American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) Standards.

o ASTM specifications for structural steels generally identify the Process by which steel is to be made, chemical composition, and tensile requirements.


23


24



o Yield strength is usually taken to be that stress which leaves the specimen with a permanent set of 0.2% when specimen is unloaded or stress corresponding to 0.5% elongation (strain)



27

o Specification A6 outlines general requirements for Rolled Steel plates, shapes, sheet piling, and Bars for structural use.

o Specification A370 outlines the procedures for Mechanical testing of steel products.

o Standard specimen called Coupons cut from shapes, are used in tensile test to establish properties of material.



28

o Yielding is a discontinuous phenomenon.

o In tension test it begins with sudden appearance in specimen of one or more narrow slip bands called Flow Lines.

o Slip bands are plastic regions separated by completely elastic regions.
