INTRODUCTION TO
JOMINY CORRELATION
WITH ROUND BARS
The following correlation of Jominy values with quenching severity
and surface to center hardnesses obtainable in round bars is based
on calculated and practical experience data.
Since practical heat treatment results are subject to several variables
being quenched, furnace atmosphere, and quenching severity of the
applying this correlation to his particular heat treatment setup.
However, as experience is gained by their use, it is believed that
these charts will be found helpful as a guide to the selection of steel of
proper hardenability based on Jominy end quench results. As a valueadded service, Timken Company hardenability data will be supplied
upon request, with each heat of steel.

EXPLANATION OF COMBINED
HARDENABILITY CHARTS
The following charts present hardenability data for thirteen popular
steels. They may be used to determine the approximate mid-radius
hardness which is developed, in various sized rounds up to 9" in
diameter using a good oil quench (.4-.5 Hv), or rounds up to 15" in
diameter when air cooling. The effect of a subsequent 1000F 2 hour
temper is also illustrated.
The relationship between hardness and section size was determined
using data from the Jominy end quench test, and air hardenability test,
and controlled cooling tests. It must be remembered that the results
for a particular steel type are based on one chemical analysis and
one austenitizing temperature. Variations of these will affect hardenability, as shown by the Jominy hardenability bands (shaded area).
Therefore, the charts should be used to determine estimated, rather
than exact, hardness values.

USE OF CHARTS
1. Select steel type.
2. Find desired diameter for the quenching medium employed.
3. Read the approximate as-quenched or tempered hardness using
the appropriate curve; read hardness range using hardenability
band.
For example, a 2-inch round made of 1045 type steel will
develop the following mid-radius hardnesses:

CONDITIONS WHICH AFFECT


FATIGUE STRENGTH
The fatigue strength of a material depends on many factors of which
the following are considered among the most important: (1) the
strength of the material and the magnitude of the stress being applied
to the material in its application, (2) the surface integrity of the material
stress present, and the presence of decarburization, (3) the environment in which the material is exposed in service.
It must be noted that fatigue data such as that represented by the
curves shown above are averages obtained from laboratory tests
which approach ideal conditions and should not be considered more
than a guide.

TO USE THE CHART


In the upper grid, select a point (time and temperature) for which the case
depth results are known. Go vertically down from that point to the known
case depth and plot the point. Pass a line through this point parallel to the
dashed line shown. Projecting a line vertically upward from any point on
this line into the grid will give the combinations of time and temperature
that will result in the same depth of case. For instance, a vertical line drawn
upward from the dashed line at 100 thousandths indicates that a 0.100 in.
case will be produced by 6 hr. at 1900F, 11 hr. at 1800F, or 22 hr. at
1700F. Shop experience of the Cook Heat Treat Co., Houston, is depicted
by this line and its related points.

LENGTH TOLERANCES
All Conditions Seamless Steel Tubing
Random Lengths
Tubing shipped on random-length orders has a length spread of 7
feet (2.1 meters) with a mean length 10 feet to 26 feet (3 to 8 meters)
Multiple Lengths
For tubing ordered in multiple lengths, it is standard practice for the
customer to make their own allowances for loss of steel due to cutting
operations. These allowances will vary from one customer to another
due to their cutting practices and the amount of facing required on the
ends of the part. Therefore, tubing is furnished to the multiple length

curvature in the total length, is measured as shown in Figure 2. The
table applies to lengths not exceeding 22 feet (6.7 meters).
The tolerances shown apply to conventional steel grades of as rolled,
annealed, and heat treated tubing up to 302 Brinell maximum or micro
alloy grades with a hardness of 229 Brinell or below. Heat treated
tubes with a Brinell hardness of 302 maximum up to 401 maximum
or micro alloy grades with a Brinell hardness exceeding 229 will have
tolerance (T) twice the values shown in the table. Tubes with lighter
walls, or with hardness exceeding 401 Brinell maximum, or weighing
greater than 140 pounds per foot, require agreement on tolerances at
time of order.

TUBE SIZE CALCULATIONS


How Mechanical Tube Sizes Are Calculated
The Timken Company has pioneered a method to determine the most
economical tube size, which insures that all part dimensions will clean
up during machining. This program has the capability to determine
what we call a guaranteed tube size for either full or bright metal
cleanup on the outer diameter and/or the inner diameter, based on the
condition of the tube.
sions and critical machining position. The required critical dimensions
(machined or ground) should be included. The critical machining
position is based on whether the tube is chucked on the tube OD or
the tube ID during the initial machining operation.
amount of cleanup, the size tolerances and the tube eccentricity variables. These variables are then factored into the tube size calculation.

Cleanup Allowance
elimination of surface imperfections, decarburization and camber
may be needed. (See table, page 98.)

Examples of Tube Size Calculation


Finished Part Dimensions
4.995 inches !.005 inch OD " 4.005
inches !.005 inch ID " 7 inches. Part is
cut to length and held on one end. Allowance for camber is made for parts over
3 inches, measured from the end of the
part to the face of the chuck. Examples
on page 96 are for a hot rolled tube using
Timken Company cleanup allowances.

Example 1, Operation 1, page 96.)

Figure 3

stock added to ID. (Refer to
Example 1, Operaton 2.)

Figure 4
Finished part with cleanup
allowance added to OD and ID
determines minimum wall required
for part to clean up. (Refer to
Example 1, Operation 3.) Were it
not for eccentricity, this would be
the recommended tube size.

Figure 5
Same tube size machined true
to OD showing effect of tube
eccentricity. Tube ID is
eccentric in relation to tube
OD. Note that cleanup stock
(dashed line) has been
eliminated at A due to tube
eccentricity. Part would not
clean up at this point.

Figure 6
Here enough stock has been
added to ID to protect cleanup
stock required at minimum wall
point A. (Refer to Example 1,
Operations 4 and 5.)

When machining true to the ID, similar considerations apply except


that stock to compensate for eccentricity is added to the tube OD.

ENGINEERING CONVERSION FACTORS


Explanation of Dimensional Units
tion of basic dimensions of Length [L], Mass [M] and Time [t]. For ex!2
ample, all units of force have the dimensions [M][L][t] . The following
better illustrates this convention:
Force " [M][L][t]!2
" (Mass) # (Acceleration)
1 kgf " (1 kg) # (9.80665 m/s2)

Example Conversion
Meters to Yards
(50 m) # (3.28084 ft/m) # (1/3 yd/ft) " 54.68066 yd

The convention is to retain the number of digits which correctly infers


the known accuracy of the numbers involved. Normally, this means
number. For the above example, the answer would therefore be
rounded to 55 yards.
When the accuracy of the measurement is known, additional digits
meters is known to be accurate to .01 meters (.0109 yards), then the
conversion result may be rounded to 54.68 yards.

GLOSSARY OF
METALLURGICAL TERMS
Alloying Elements
ALUMINUM - Al
is used to deoxidize steel and control grain size. Grain size control is
restricts austenite grain growth. Aluminum is also an extremely effective
nitride former in nitriding steels.
BORON - B
enability, especially for low carbon alloys. It does not affect the strength
in the annealed state.
CALCIUM - Ca
is used in certain steels to control the shape, size and distribution of
impact strength and machinability.
CARBON - C
is the most important alloying element which is essential for the formation
of cementite, pearlite, spheriodite, bainite, and iron-carbon martensite.
Compared to steels with similar microstructures, strength, hardness,
hardenability, and ductile-to-brittle transition temperature are increased
with increasing carbon content up to approximately .60%. Toughness
and ductility of pearlitic steels are decreased with increasing carbon
content.
CHROMIUM - Cr
is used in low alloy steels to increase 1) resistance to corrosion and
oxidation, 2) high temperature strength, 3) hardenability, and 4) abrasion
resistance in high carbon alloys. Straight chromium steels are susceptible
to temper embrittlement and can be brittle.
COPPER - Cu
is detrimental to hot workability and subsequent surface quality. It is used
in certain steels to improve resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
LEAD - Pb
improves machinability. It does not dissolve in steel but stays as globules.
Environmental concerns are resulting in a decreased usage of lead in
the steel industry.
MANGANESE - Mn
is important because it deoxidizes the melt and facilitates hot working of
the steel by reducing the susceptibility to hot shortness. It combines with
sulfur to form MnS stringers which increases machinability. Manganese
contributes to the effectiveness of normalizing for strengthening, to the
increasing the probability of retained austenite.

142

GLOSSARY continued
MOLYBDENUM - Mo
enability. It increases high temperature tensile and creep strengths.
Molybdenum hardened steels require higher tempering temperatures
for softening purposes.
NICKEL - Ni
is used in low alloy steels to reduce the sensitivity of the steel to variations in heat treatment and distortion and cracking on quenching. It also
improves low temperature toughness and hardenability.
NIOBIUM - Nb (Columbium - Cb)
lowers transition temperature and raises the strength of low carbon steel.
size and forms stable carbides, lowering the hardenability of the steel.
NITROGEN - N
increases the strength, hardness and machinability of steel, but it
decreases the ductility and toughness. In aluminum killed steels, nitrogen combines with the aluminum to provide grain size control, thereby
improving both toughness and strength. Nitrogen can reduce the effect
of boron on the hardenability of steels.
PHOSPHORUS - P
is generally restricted to below 0.04 weight percent to minimize its detrimental effect on ductility and toughness. Certain steels may contain
higher levels to enhance machinability, strength and/or atmospheric
corrosion resistance.
SILICON - Si
is one of the principal deoxidizers with the amount used dependent on the
deoxidization practice. It slightly increases the strength of ferrite without
a serious loss of ductility. In larger quantities, it aids the resistance to
scaling up to 500F in air and decreases magnetic hysteresis loss.
SULFUR - S
is detrimental to transverse strength and impact resistance. It affects
longitudinal properties to a lesser degree. Existing primarily in the form
machinability.
TITANIUM - Ti
is added to boron steels because it combines with oxygen and nitrogen,
thus increasing the effectiveness of boron. Titanium, as titanium nitride,
also provides grain size control at elevated temperatures in microalloy
steels. In excess, titanium is detrimental to machinability and internal
cleanness.

143

GLOSSARY continued
TELLURIUM - Te
ellipsoidal in shape following hot working, thereby improving transverse
properties.
VANADIUM - V
inhibits grain growth during heat treating while improving strength and
toughness of hardened and tempered steels. Additions up to .05%
increase hardenability whereas larger amounts tend to reduce hardenability because of carbide formation. Vanadium is also utilized in ferrite/
pearlite microalloy steels to increase hardness through carbonitride
precipitation strengthening of the matrix.

END-QUENCH HARDENABILITY TEST (Jominy Test)
A laboratory procedure for determining the hardenability of a steel or
other ferrous alloy. Hardenability is determined by heating a standard

after cooling to room temperature is completed, measuring the hardness
near the surface of the specimen at regularly spaced intervals along its
length. The data are normally plotted as hardness versus distance from
the quenched end.

However, this may also refer to stiffness or temper, or to resistance to
scratching, abrasion, or cutting.
IMPACT TEST

of loading, usually in bending, tension or torsion. The quantity measured
is the energy absorbed in breaking the specimen by a single blow, as in
the Charpy or Izod tests.

original cross-sectional area of a tensile test specimen and the minimum
cross-sectional area measured after complete separation.
RIMMED STEEL
A low carbon steel having enough iron oxide to give a continuous evovirtually free of voids.

SEAM
A defect on the surface of a metal which appears as a crack. Experience
indicates that most seams are created during the cooling or reheating
of cast structures.
SEMI-KILLED STEEL
Incompletely deoxidized steel which contains enough dissolved oxygen
shrinkage.
SPHEROIDIZE ANNEAL
A special type of annealing that requires an extremely long cycle. This
treatment is used to produce globular carbides and maximum softness
for best machinability in some analyses, or to improve cold formability.
STRAND CASTING (Continuous Casting)
Operation in which a cast shape is continuously drawn through the botdimensions.
STRESS RELIEVE TEMPER
A thermal treatment to restore elastic properties and to minimize distortion on subsequent machining or hardening operations. This treatment
is usually applied to material that has been heat treated (quenched and
tempered). Normal practice would be to heat to a temperature 100F
lower than the tempering temperatures used to establish mechanical
properties and hardness. Ordinarily, no straightening is performed after
the stress relieve temper.

146

GLOSSARY continued
TEMPERING
A treatment consisting of heating uniformly to some predetermined
temperature under the critical range, holding at that temperature a
designated period of time and cooling in air or liquid. This treatment is
used to produce one or more of the following end results: A) to soften
material for subsequent machining or cold working, B) to improve
ductility and relieve stresses resulting from prior treatment or cold
working, and C) to produce the desired mechanical properties or
structure in the second step of a double treatment.
TENSILE STRENGTH
In tensile testing, the ratio of maximum load to original crosssectional area.
YIELD POINT
able stress, at which an increase in strain occurs without an increase
in stress. If there is a decrease in stress after yielding, a distinction
may be made between upper and lower yield points.
YIELD STRENGTH
proportionality of stress and strain. An offset of .2% is commonly
used.
