The new microalloy steels are becoming increasingly recognized as offering both cost savings and high performance for use in hot forged products. They find wide application in automotive, off-highway and similar original equipment industries. The yield strengths exhibited with these materials range from 415 to 825 Mpa (60,000 to 120,000 psi) without heat treatment. These strength capabilities make MA steels an economical alternative to quenched-and-tempered alloy steels.
