mediumalloy
Mediumalloy refers to metallic alloys that lie between low-alloy or carbon steels and high-alloy or specialty alloys in terms of alloying content and engineered properties. The term is not universally standardized and its usage varies by industry and material class. In steelmaking, medium-alloy steels typically incorporate a moderate amount of alloying elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, vanadium, or copper to achieve improved strength, hardenability, creep resistance, or toughness without the higher cost and processing challenges associated with very high alloy content.
Common characteristics of mediumalloy materials include greater strength and improved mechanical performance relative to plain carbon
Applications for mediumalloy materials span sectors that demand a balance of strength, weldability, and cost. These
