46100 and other high hard steels 1

[QSRW4]

I'm trying to find mechanical properties and comparisons for 46100 and other high hard steels against the softer steels used in construction and other industrial uses.

Especially interested in what effects welding has on high hard steels.

Basically I'm trying to find studies or reference resources that will prove or disprove a given theory to the extent of effect welding has on the high hard steel.

Also looking for some reference as to why I have a low number of random sheets of high hard steel with pores in them.

Any help would be appreciated.

What properties are you interested in? Tensile Strength? % Elongation? What heat treat condition are you interested in? Are you interested in room temperature properties, elevated temperature properties, or low-temperature properties?

Welding on high carbon steels can cause a loss of strength as well as cracking, if the welding process isn't controlled.

Present the given theory and maybe we can suggest references to either support or refute it.

Steel sheet is typically manufactured without pores. If I found pores in steel sheet, I would consider them defects and address the issue with my supplier.

Red,

The theory as stated is that weld spots and arc strikes on the steel out side of weld zones does little to comprimise the strength of the steel. Products we are wroking with need to be impact resistant. We use 46100 and 12560 mostly, along with some harded tool steels.

Thanks for confirming my thoughts about the posity.
