The Hardenability of Cast Steel
Abstract
Results of this investigation show that cast and forged steels of identical compositions, in the low and medium alloy range, have comparable hardenability when variations in grain size are considered. Increasing the normalising temperature of the cast steels from 1700 deg F (925 deg C) to 2000 deg C) Prior to quenching from 1650 deg F (900 deg C) has little effect on the hardenability except as it alters the austenitic grain size.
