Carbon (C)
- Increases edge retention and raises tensile strength
- Increases hardness and improves resistance to wear and abrasion
Chromium (Cr)
- Increases hardness, tensile strength and toughness
- Provides resistance to wear and corrosion
Cobalt (Co)
- Increases strength and hardness and permits quenching in higher temperatures
- Intensifies the individual effects of other elements in more complex steels
Copper (Cu)
- Increases corrosion resistance
- Increases wear resistance
Manganese (Mn)
- Increases hardenability, wear resistance and tensile strength
- De-oxidizes and de-gasifies to remove oxygen from molten metal
- In larger quantities, increases hardness and brittleness
Molybdenum (Mo)
- Increases strength, hardness, hardenability, and toughness
- Improves machinability and resistance to corrosion
ickel (Ni)
- Adds strength, hardness and corrosion resistance
Phosphorous (P)
- Improves strength, machinability and hardness
- Creates brittleness in high concentrations
Silicon (Si)
- Increases yield strength
- Increases tensile strength
- De-oxidizes and de-gasifies to remove oxygen from molten metal
Sulphur (S)
- Improves machinability when used in minute quantities
Tungsten (W)
- Adds strength, toughness and hardness
Vanadium (V)
- Increases strength, hardness and resistance to shock impact
- Retards grain growth
