Key Properties

 

  • Chemical Composition

Element (Symbol and Name) Percentage Range (%)
C (Carbon) 0.10 - 0.20
Mn (Manganese) 1.20 - 1.60
Si (Silicon) 0.10 - 0.50
Cr (Chromium) ≤ 0.30
Ni (Nickel) ≤ 0.30
P (Phosphorus) ≤ 0.025
S (Sulfur) ≤ 0.010

 

The primary role of key alloying elements in S700MC includes:
- Carbon (C): Increases strength and hardness but can reduce ductility if present in high amounts.
- Manganese (Mn): Enhances hardenability and tensile strength while improving toughness.
- Silicon (Si): Improves oxidation resistance and contributes to strength.

 

  • Mechanical Properties

Property Condition/Temper Test Temperature Typical Value/Range (Metric) Typical Value/Range (Imperial) Reference Standard for Test Method
Yield Strength (0.2% offset) Thermomechanically Rolled Room Temp 700 - 900 MPa 101.5 - 130.5 ksi EN 10002-1
Tensile Strength Thermomechanically Rolled Room Temp 770 - 950 MPa 111.5 - 137.5 ksi EN 10002-1
Elongation Thermomechanically Rolled Room Temp ≥ 14% ≥ 14% EN 10002-1
Reduction of Area Thermomechanically Rolled Room Temp ≥ 40% ≥ 40% EN 10002-1
Hardness (Brinell) Thermomechanically Rolled Room Temp 200 - 250 HB 200 - 250 HB EN ISO 6506

 

The combination of these mechanical properties makes S700MC suitable for applications that require high strength and good ductility, such as structural components in buildings and vehicles. Its yield strength allows for efficient load-bearing designs, while its elongation and reduction of area indicate good formability.

 

  • Physical Properties

Property Condition/Temperature Value (Metric) Value (Imperial)
Density Room Temp 7.85 g/cm³ 0.284 lb/in³
Melting Point - 1420 - 1540 °C 2590 - 2810 °F
Thermal Conductivity Room Temp 50 W/m·K 34.5 BTU·in/h·ft²·°F
Specific Heat Capacity Room Temp 0.49 kJ/kg·K 0.12 BTU/lb·°F
Electrical Resistivity Room Temp 0.0000017 Ω·m 0.0000017 Ω·in

 

The practical significance of the density and melting point of S700MC is crucial for applications in structural engineering. Its relatively high density contributes to its strength, while the melting point indicates good performance under elevated temperatures, making it suitable for applications that may experience thermal stress.

 

Typical Applications and End Uses

 

Industry/Sector Specific Application Example Key Steel Properties Utilized in this Application Reason for Selection (Brief)
Automotive Chassis and frames High yield strength, good weldability Lightweight, high performance
Construction Structural beams High strength-to-weight ratio Efficient load-bearing design
Machinery Heavy equipment components Toughness and durability Reliability under stress

 

Other applications include:
- Bridges: Utilizing high strength for long spans.
- Shipbuilding: Lightweight structures that require corrosion resistance.
- Railway: Components that demand high strength and toughness.

 

S700MC is chosen for these applications due to its ability to provide high strength while minimizing weight, which is critical in modern engineering designs.
