Steel Mixtures
Hi, I'm a fantasy and science fiction writer, and was recommended to
this group for a technical question. Well, maybe 'technical' is stretching things. I've written a bit where snaps and shackles were made of a steel. They tested well in normal temperatures, but shattered under load at about -40. I used manganese as a placeholder, but would like to use a correct alloying material to have my 'expert' character tell the journeyman to "try using a little less (or a little more) X" where X is my manganese placeholder. Can anybody help me? Have I provided enough information? Bill |
