Calculation of Tensile Strength and Yield Point of Normalized and Annealed Steels from the Chemical Composition

Abstract

A set of multiplying factors for calculating tensile strength and yield point from chemical composition has been developed. The change in these factors due to change in cooling rate has been determined. Curves correlating cooling rate in air with thickness of plates and diameter of rounds are shown. It is possible through the use of these factors and a knowledge of the cooling rate to calculate the tensile strength and yield point for any position in a normalized steel section.
