Steel grades are selected to meet property requirements for a given application.
Demand of higher strength and toughness require increasing alloy content for improved hardenability:
Carbon content is systematically increased in unalloyed grades from 0.22% to 0.55%
Next are a series of 1% Chrome (Cr) and 1% Cr / 0.25% Mo grades with carbon content increasing again from 0.25% to 0.55%.
For higher stressed components CrNiMo steels are used with both nickel and chromium stepping up between 1% and 2%
In NiCrMo steels nickel is present up to 4% and Mo up to 0.7% to ensure through-hardening of components like generator shafts.
In CrMoV steels carbon is partly replaced by alloys - up to 0.9% Mo - to retain good weldability or extra high toughness.
Molybdenum’s most important role in these grades is to increase the hardenability and to promote a uniformly hardened microstructure across the full cross section.
