Technical Specifications

Product Overview

Metallurgical Characteristics

MS 1400 features a predominantly martensitic microstructure with fine carbide precipitates, achieved through controlled austenitization at 900-950°C followed by rapid quenching and precise tempering at 200-400°C. The optimized carbon content and alloying elements ensure excellent hardenability while maintaining adequate toughness for demanding applications.

Heat Treatment Process

MetalZenith employs a sophisticated heat treatment protocol involving vacuum or protective atmosphere heating to prevent decarburization, followed by controlled quenching in polymer or oil media. The subsequent tempering process is precisely controlled using automated furnace systems with ±5°C temperature accuracy to achieve target mechanical properties consistently.

Manufacturing Process

Production begins with electric arc furnace melting followed by secondary refining through ladle furnace and vacuum degassing to achieve ultra-low sulfur and phosphorus content. Continuous casting ensures homogeneous chemical composition, while controlled rolling and accelerated cooling optimize the final microstructure. Advanced process control systems monitor critical parameters throughout production.

Quality Standards & Testing

Every batch undergoes comprehensive testing including optical emission spectroscopy for chemical analysis, tensile and impact testing per ASTM E8 and E23 standards, hardness verification using Rockwell C scale, and microstructural examination. Non-destructive testing including ultrasonic inspection ensures internal soundness. Certificates of compliance are provided with detailed test results and traceability documentation.

Processing Recommendations

For optimal formability, maintain processing temperatures below 150°C to prevent tempering effects. Welding requires preheating to 200-300°C and post-weld heat treatment to restore mechanical properties. Machining should utilize carbide tools with appropriate cutting speeds and feeds to manage work hardening characteristics inherent to martensitic steels.
