EVALUATION OF COMMERCIALLY PRODUCED HY-80 STEEL

Abstract

The purpose of this investigation was to obtain a better understanding of some of the variables which may affect the properties of HY-80 steel. The data indicate that harden ability is increased with plate thickness. Generally, plates above 3-in. thick contain less than 80 percent martensite. As the percent martensite decreases, so do the Charpy V-notch impact values at -120 F. HY-80 steel made under military specifications MIL-S-16216E and F had lower phosphorous and sulphur content than the HY-80 produced under MIL-S-16216D. The data will be used for determining the individual or combined metallurgical variables which may have an effect on the mechanical properties of HY-80 steel used in model and prototype construction.
