Low Carbon Iron Alloys

Abstract

A new class of precipitation hardening iron alloys has been developed which do not require quenching from the solution temperature. These alloys have tensile strengths from 100,000 to 200,000 pounds per square inch and their ductility compares favorably with that of heat treated S.A.E. steels of the same strength. These alloys may be used for structures which are too large or complicated for easy beat treatment and for heavy armor.
