Dynamic Properties of Lean Diffusion Alloy Steel
Diffusion alloyed steels are known worldwide for their robustness and mechanical property performance. These alloys contain significant amounts of nickel, copper, and molybdenum. However, for heat treated applications, this level of alloying is not necessary for most applications. A newly developed lean diffusion alloy steel, D.AQ, was introduced and shown to have similar static properties to common powder metal (PM) material systems in the heat treated condition. In this paper, the dynamic properties of D.AQ will be compared to common PM heat treat alloy systems using standard test specimens and gears.
