What is the latent heat for medium carbon steel

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The latent heat for medium carbon steel, specifically the latent heat of fusion and vaporization, is not readily available in a single source. Users seeking this information should refer to specific heat tables that detail the enthalpy of fusion and vaporization for various metals. The melting point of medium carbon steel typically ranges around 1425°C to 1540°C, while the boiling point is approximately 2900°C. For comprehensive data, resources such as Engineering Toolbox and Yes I Can Science provide useful tables.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of latent heat concepts, including latent heat of fusion and vaporization.
  • Familiarity with the properties of medium carbon steel.
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics and phase changes.
  • Ability to navigate engineering resource websites for material properties.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific heat of fusion for medium carbon steel.
  • Investigate the enthalpy of vaporization for various metals.
  • Explore the melting and boiling points of different grades of steel.
  • Utilize resources like Engineering Toolbox for detailed material property tables.
USEFUL FOR

Materials scientists, metallurgists, engineers, and anyone involved in the thermal processing of medium carbon steel will benefit from this discussion.

I'have searched a lot but could not find latent heat for any kind of medium carbon steel for latent heat from solid to liquid and from liquid to gas. Also I want to know the corresponding melting point and boiling point for that know of steel.
Any link for a table would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

How intensive was the search?

A suggestion is to search specific heat of fusion ( latent heat of fusion ). ( vapourization ) ; or ( enthalpy of fusion )

Thus gives the heat needed to turn several metals from solid to liquid.
