Mechanical Properties are Critical -Consequences can be catastrophic!

Failure of:• Bridges, Buildings, Structures• Aircraft• Medical Devices
Failure of F-15: The Air Force determined that the cause of the accident was a defective metal support beam . . .A failure of the upper right longeron, a critical support structure in the F-15C Eagle, caused the crash of a Missouri Air National Guard F-15C . . .The longeron didn't meet blueprint specifications. This defect led to a series of fatigue cracks in the right upper longeron which expanded under life cycle stress, causing the longeron to fail, thus initiating a catastrophic failure of the entire aircraft.

Yield Strength depends on Composition

Effect of Alloying Additions and Grain Size:
Effect of alloying additions on the yield strength
The carbon content at which the minimum austenite temperature is attained is called the eutectoid carbon content (0.68 wt. % C in case of themetastable Fe-C phase diagram.) The ferrite-cementite phase mixture of this composition formed during slow cooling has a characteristic appearance and is called pearlite and can be treated as a microstructural entity or microconstituent. It is an aggregate of alternating ferrite and cementite lamellae that coarsens (or "spheroidizes") into cementite particles dispersed within a ferrite matrix after extended holding at a temperature close to A1.

The Magic of Steel (Part 2):
M&AE 3272 - Supplementary Lecture Materials 13
Heat treatments of steel involve austenizing at temperature, followed by continuous cooling to room temperature.
• Ms - The highest temperature at which transformation of austenite to martensite starts during rapid cooling.
• Mf -The temperature at which martensite formation completes during rapid cooling.
