What is Steel?
Steel is an alloy in which iron is mixed with
carbon and other elements.
An Alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two
or more elements, at least one of which is a
metal, and where the resulting material has
metallic properties.
An Alloy usually has different properties
(sometimes significantly different) from
those of its components.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
Mention of Iron in Holy Quran
Iron is mentioned in the Holy Quran 6 times:
1. Surah Bani Israil (17:50)
2. Surah Al Kahf ( 18: 96)
3. Surah Al Anbiya.. (21:22)
4. Surah Saba (34:10)
5. Surah Qaf (50:22)
6. Surah Al-Hadid (57:25)
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
Mention of Iron in Holy Quran
Al-Hadeed (Sura 57:25)
We have indeed sent Our messengers with clear proofs, and sent
down with them the book and the balance, so that people may
uphold equity. And we sent down iron in which there is strong
power, and benefits for the people; and (We did it) so that ALLAH
knows who helps Him and his messengers without seeing (Him).
Surely ALLAH is Strong, Mighty.

Steel Making Process
Chemical Reactions in Blast Furnace
Iron (III) Oxide + Carbon Monoxide Iron + Carbon Dioxide
Fe2O3(s) +3 CO(g) 2 Fe(s)+3 CO2(g) (At 1500o C)
Calcium Carbonate Calcium Oxide + Carbon Dioxide
CaCO3(s) CaO(s)+CO2(g)
This oxide helps to remove some of the
acidic impurities from the ore
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
10
Steel Making Process
Chemical Reactions in Blast Furnace
Calcium Oxide (g) + Silica (s) Calcium Silicate (l)
CaO(s) + SiO2(s) CaSiO3
(l)
The metal that leaves the Blast Furnace contains between 4%
and 5% Carbon and is brittle. This carbon and other impurities
are removed in the next step.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
11
Steel Making Process
Removal of Impurities by Oxidation
o The Bessemer process named after its
Inventor Henry Bessemer who invented
the process in 1855
o The key principle is removal of excess
carbon and impurities by injection of
oxygen through molten iron
o Oxidizing excess carbon and impurities
also keeps the metal molten.

Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Quenching
Quenching refers to heating steel to below a critical
temperature, holding that temperature and then rapidly
cooling it in a desirable medium such as air water or oil to
obtain desired hardness property.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
14
Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Tempering
Tempering refers to heating steel above a critical
temperature, then cooling it rapidly to freeze it in a very
hard state followed by rewarming it to an intermediate
temperature to give a hardness suitable for the job
intended.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
15
Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Annealing
Heating (usually up to 1150o F) followed by
cooling of steel in solid state to relieve the
residual stresses and to enhance ductility.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
16
Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Killed Steel
It indicates that the steel has been completely
deoxidized by the addition of an agent such as
silicon or aluminum, before casting, so that there is
practically no evolution of gas during solidification.
These are characterized by a high degree of
chemical homogeneity and freedom from porosity.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
17
Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Rimmed Steel
A low-carbon steel containing sufficient iron oxide to give
a continuous evolution of carbon monoxide while the
ingot is solidifying. Incomplete oxidation allows the metal
at the top of the ingot to remain liquid while solidifying in
formation of a bottom and side rim of virtually pure iron of
considerable thickness virtually free of voids. Sheet and
strip products made from rimmed steel ingots have very
good surface quality.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
18
Treatments and Processes Affecting
Steel Properties
o Work Hardening
An increase in strength and hardness attained by
stressing the steel to cause plastic deformations at lower
temperatures.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
19
Effect of Carbon percentage
on
Steel
Properties
o Carbon has a major effect on steel properties. Carbon is the primary
hardening element in steel. Hardness and tensile strength increases as
carbon content increases up to about 0.85%.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
20
Effect of Carbon percentage
on Steel Properties
Type of Steel
%age of Carbon
Mild Steel
Up to 0.25%
Medium Carbon Steel
0.25% to 0.45%
High Carbon Steel
0.45% to 1.50%
Adding metals such as nickel, chromium, and
tungsten to iron produces a wide range of alloy
steels, including stainless steel and high speed
steels.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan
21
Mechanical Properties of
Structural Steels
o Most widely used standards for structural
materials are American Society for Testing
& Materials (ASTM) Standards.
o ASTM specifications for structural steels
generally identify the Process by which steel
is to be made, chemical composition, and
tensile requirements.

Mechanical Properties of
Structural Steels
o Yield strength is usually taken to be that stress which
leaves the specimen with a permanent set of 0.2%
when specimen is unloaded or stress corresponding
to 0.5% elongation (strain)
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan
25
Mechanical Properties of Structural Steels
o Specification A6 outlines general requirements for Rolled
Steel plates, shapes, sheet piling, and Bars for structural
use.
o Specification A370 outlines the procedures for Mechanical
testing of steel products.
o Standard specimen called Coupons cut from shapes, are
used in tensile test to establish properties of material.
CE-411: Lecture 02
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
27
Mechanical Properties of Structural Steels
o Yielding is a discontinuous
phenomenon.
o In tension test it begins with sudden
appearance in specimen of one or more
narrow slip bands called Flow Lines.
o Slip bands are plastic regions separated
by completely elastic regions.
