Overheating Characteristics of Clean Gun Steels.
Abstract
Low sulphur (0.005%) type D gun steels are found to suffer a reduction in toughness and ductility when heat treated at temperatures above 1200 C, but can be forged at temperatures up to 1325 C without loss of mechanical properties. Higher sulphur content steels have higher overheating temperatures. No satisfactory reheat treatment process to raise the toughness of an overheated D steel has been established. (Author)
