Properties of Hard Steel

             The hard steel is the steel which having high carbon in its composition. The properties of the hard steel are:-
             * It can be easily hardened and tempered.
             * It can be magnetised permanently.
             * It can not be readily forged and welded.
             * It has granular structure.
             * It is not easily attacked by salt water.
             * It is tougher and more elastic than mild steel.
             * It is used   for finest cutlery, edge tools and for parts which are to be subjected to shocks and vibrations.
             * It rusts easily and rapidly.
             * Its melting point is about 1300°C.
             * It specific gravity is 7.90.
             * Its ultimate compressive strength is about 140 to 200 KN per square centimetre.
             * Its ultimate shear strength is about 110KN per square centimetre.
             * Its ultimate tensile strength is about 80 to 110 KN per square centimetre.
