Introduction to Hardenability | Factors Affecting it, and how to determine it
Hardenability is one of many factors to determine the quality of Steels. In this blog we will discuss the Hardenability Definition Engineering. We will also make a comparison and make sure you understand Hardenability vs. Hardness. We will also discuss the Factors Affecting Hardenability. We will also discuss the Hardenability of Steel and towards the end we will discuss the Hardenability Test and the Jominy Hardenability Test.
Hardenability
Hardenability is the property that is mostly observed in the ferrous alloys most commonly in the steels and is the property which is required for many of the applications in the modern world. It can define as the general strength or attribute of the ferrous alloy to withhold the amount of hardness created in the alloy.
Hardenability Definition Engineering
Hardenability can be easily defined as the general characteristic of the ferrous material to retain the measure of hardness produced after the alloy or material has gone through the rigorous process of austenitization and being quenched afterwards.
