Subject field(s)
  • Steel
DEF

A steel containing sufficient carbon and other alloying elements to harden fully during cooling in air or other gaseous mediums from a temperature above its transformation range.

Domaine(s)
  • Acier
DEF

Acier contenant suffisamment d'éléments alliés pour tremper par simple refroidissement à l'air, à partir d'une température supérieure à sa température critique de transformation.
