Magnetic properties of silver steel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The saturation flux of silver steel, which contains approximately 1% carbon and up to 0.4% chromium, is expected to be similar to that of high carbon steels, typically around 1.6T for carbon steel. The magnetic properties of silver steel are influenced by factors such as heat treatment and hardness. Testing data can be found in a formal report linked in the discussion, confirming that silver steel exhibits ferromagnetic characteristics akin to other high carbon steels, primarily due to its body-centered cubic structure.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ferromagnetism and magnetic saturation
  • Familiarity with high carbon steel properties
  • Knowledge of heat treatment processes
  • Basic metallurgy concepts related to alloying elements
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the magnetic properties of high carbon steels

  • Explore the role of chromium in steel's magnetic characteristics
  • Examine the body-centered cubic structure in ferromagnetic materials
USEFUL FOR

Metallurgists, materials scientists, engineers working with steel alloys, and anyone interested in the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic materials.

Hi,

A straight question here, no complicated quantum theory equations for this, I just want to know a piece of data.

What is the saturation flux of silver steel?

It has a fraction of a percent of chromium in it, so was wondering if it was less than carbon steel's ~1.6T?

Thanks for looking up some detail there, I agree that it should be similar to other high carbon steel, assuming it is mostly body centered cubic.
