Steel Mechanical Properties

When selecting a material for a particular application, engineers must be confident that it will be suitable for the loading conditions and environment it will experience in service. An understanding of the properties of materials is therefore essential. The mechanical properties of steel can be carefully controlled through the selection of an appropriate chemical composition, processing and heat treatment, which lead to its final microstructure.

Customer Specifications for steel vary widely around the world. Therefore it’s impractical to list a global set of properties. However, we can illustrate typical properties through a series of projects completed by the global steel industry:  UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB), UltraLight Steel Auto Closures (ULSAC), UltraLight Steel Auto Suspensions (ULSAS) and ULSAB-AVC (Advanced Technologies).  You can learn more about these projects by clicking the related articles links above.  The most recent project, ULSAB-AVC, contains a list of typical mechanical properties used to design light weight vehicle designs, and it is often referred to by industry.  Following is a table of these materials and their mechanical properties:

As %C increases in steels how the values of strength coefficient and work hardening exponent varies
