Introduction – Steel 3rd most used construction material after concrete and asphalt
• Iron ore → 1500 B.C. primitive furnace: iron → 18th century blast furnace: mass iron production → mid-1800s Bessemer converter: steel Difference: • Concrete & asphalt Ø Engineers and contractors directly influence strength, stability, & durability
• Steel Ø Civil engineer has less flexibility in specifying steel

Construction Uses of Steel • Structural steel → plates, bars, pipes, structural shapes, etc.
• Cold formed steel →studs, trusts, roofing, cladding
• Fastening products → bolts, nuts, washers • Reinforcing steel → rebar for concrete
• Miscellaneous → forms, pans, hardware, etc.

Reduction of Iron Ore to Pig Iron
Blast furnace with carbon (coal or coke) & limestone Ø Limestone removes impurities from iron ore
Ø Slag (molten rock & impurities) is skimmed off the top
Ø Molten iron w/carbon is collected at the bottom

Refining Pig Iron and Scrap to Steel
Remove excess carbon and other impurities by oxidation in another furnace § Basic oxygen furnace – 300 tons in 25 minutes § Electric arc – electric arc melts steel – lots of energy
• Deoxidize with aluminum, ferrosilicon, manganese, etc.
• Killed Steel: completely deoxidized

Heat Treatment
Refines grain structure, removes internal stresses, removes gases, changes electrical and magnetic properties
• Types a) Annealing b) Normalizing c) Hardening d) Tempering

15
Annealing
Ø Heating, then slowly cooling to room temperature. Ø Steel gets softer & more ductile, increasing
toughness.
Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
16
Normalizing Ø Similar to annealing, but hotter & air cooled Ø Gives a uniform, fine-grained structure Ø Provides high fracture toughness Ø More corrective rather than strengthening or hardening
Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Mamlouk/Zaniewski, Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, Third Edition. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
17
Hardening Ø Higher heat, then rapid cooling by quenching in
water/brine/oil Ø Steel is harder & more brittle & must be followed by
tempering.

18
Tempering Ø Reheating hardened steel to a lower temperature and
quenching Ø Increases ductility and toughness after hardening –
both effects

Specialty Steels • High performance steels
• Stainless steel has minimum 10% chromium (common steels have 0.3% – 0.4%).

Cold Formed Steel • Grades
Ø Multiple grades are acceptable.
Ø Steel Stud Manufactures Association recognizes two yield stress grades, 33 and 55 ksi.
• Cold forming results in plastic deformation causing strain-hardening that increases the yield strength, tensile (ultimate) strength and hardness, but reduces ductility.
• Cold forming increases tensile strength by 50-70% and ultimate strength by 20-30%.

Stre
ss
Total Strain
Elastic Strain
Plastic Strain
Force is applied resulting in stress and strain
Strain
When force is removed, stress returns to zero. Path is parallel to the initial slope of the curve. Part of the strain is “recovered,” this is elastic behavior. Part of the strain is permanent, this is plastic behavior.
Elastic Limit
New elastic limit
Reloading will resume to the highest previous stress level. Elastic limit is “reset to the previous highest stress level.”
Response to further loading follows original stress-strain behavior

Charpy V Notch Impact Test • Measure toughness or fracture energy at different temperatures
• Specimen of rectangular cross-section with a V notch Charpy machine with a pendulum that breaks the specimen Ø By measuring the height of the swing arm after striking the specimen, the energy required to fracture is computed (higher head = less energy absorbed)
• Energy absorbed is high at high temp. (shear = ductile) and low at low temp. (cleavage = brittle)

• Steel is often bent to a desired shape, especially rebar
• Bend the specimen through a certain angle and to a certain inside radius

Hardness Test • Measures resistance to small dents and scratches
• Need very high hardness for many machine parts & tools
• Spring-loaded indenter (hardened steel penetrating ball) is forced into the surface of the material with a specified load and rate.

Welding • Joining two metal pieces by
applying heat Ø partial melting fuses the pieces together Ø distortion caused by uneven heating
• Arc Welding or “Stick Welding” Ø Flux on the electrode (“stick”) shields the molten metal from atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
• Gas Welding or “MIG Welding” Ø “Metal in Gas” uses shielding gas instead of flux.

Steel Corrosion
• Oxidation (rust) can cause serious weakening of structures.
• Cost of corrosion is about $8 billion per year in U.S. alone.
• Steel is made by using heat to separate oxygen and iron molecules in the ore – corrosion is a natural process.

Corrosion Protection Methods
http://www.rollanet.org/~conorw/cwome/de_bridge_corrosion1.jpg
• Active corrosion protection • Passive corrosion protection • Permanent corrosion protection • Temporary corrosion protection

52
Required for Corrosion 1. Anode: Positive electrode where corrosion occurs 2. Cathode: Negative electrode needed for electric current 3. Conductor: Metallic pathway for electrons to flow
between electrodes 4. Electrolyte: Liquid that can support the flow of electrons • 1, 2, and 3 are present in steel. • 4 is moisture (in air). • Pure water is not a good electrolyte, contaminants on the steel or in the air provides electrolyte (salt, acid rain, etc.).

54
Corrosion Resistance • Control rather than stop corrosion • Protective coatings (paint, etc.) can be used to isolate the steel from moisture.
1. Barrier coatings Ø Standard paint isolates steel from moisture & must be repeated.
2. Inhabitive primer coatings Ø Pigments that migrate to the steel surface to passivate it (transfer electrons)
3. Sacrificial primers (cathodic protection) Ø Metal pigments (zinc) become the anode, give up electrons to the steel, and corrode instead of the steel.

Cathodic Protection • Protective current supplies electrons to the structure. • The electrons cover the electron requirements for the reduction of oxygen which comes into contact with the metal surface.
• Without cathodic protection, the electrons cause decomposition of the metal.
• The potential of the metal surface is sufficiently reduced to prevent disassociation of positive ions from the metal.
• Where formerly an anodic reaction took place, the oxygen is reduced by cathodic reaction.
• The entire surface of the structure becomes a safe cathode, i.e., the metal is "cathodically " protected.
