Shock resisting steel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shock resisting steels are a class of tool steels designed to resist breakage by shock. Under the AISI classification system there are seven types, labeled S1 to S7.

Overview[]

Shock resisting steels are designed to have high impact resistance (toughness), along with other properties such as strength, hardness. Silicon is a common addition to this class of steels, as it provides tempering resistance, and increases toughness.[1]

Applications for shock resisting steels includes springs, as well as chisels, dies for forging, and punches.[1] S2 steel is also used to make Ball bearings for the mining industry.[2] They are also used for screwdrivers and driver bits.[3]

SVCM[]

SVCM steel is kind of shock resisting steel.[5] SVCM steel is an alloy of carbon, silicon, chromium, magnesium, nickel, molybdenum and lead.[6] SVCM+ in addition is quenched and tempered achieving a high hardness (HRC 59).[6] SCVM+ has better torsional properties than chromium-vanadium steel (Cr-V).[7]
