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
that are always difficult to determine, i.e., surface condition of piece
being quenched, furnace atmosphere, and quenching severity of the
coolant, the metallurgist or heat treater may find some differences in
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.

1. S
 elect steel type.

USE OF CHARTS

2. F
 ind desired diameter for the quenching medium employed.
3. R
 ead 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
including its finish and method of manufacture, magnitude of residual
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.

PARAMETER, P

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.

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)
unless otherwise specified.
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
as specified by the individual customer.

STRAIGHTNESS TOLERANCES
All Conditions Seamless Steel Tubing

Straightness tolerances (T) should not exceed those shown in the


tables below. The tolerance (T) for any 3-foot (1 meter) length is
measured as shown in Figure 1. The total tolerance, the maximum
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.
The guaranteed tube size is based on the parts critical finished dimensions and critical machining position. The required critical dimensions
are: 1) maximum finished OD, 2) minimum finished ID, and 3) maximum
finished part length. All applicable tolerances and surface finishes
(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.
Critical finished part dimensions and machining position influence the
amount of cleanup, the size tolerances and the tube eccentricity variables. These variables are then factored into the tube size calculation.

Cleanup Allowance

Cleanup allowance must be added to the finished OD dimension


or subtracted from the finished ID dimension to provide for the
elimination of surface imperfections, decarburization and camber
(out-of-straightness). Other allowances specific to the application
may be needed. (See table, page 98.)

Examples of Tube Size Calculation


Finished Part Dimensions

4.995 inches 6.005 inch OD 3 4.005


inches 6.005 inch ID 3 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.

Figure 4

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
All table entries are categorized according to their specific combination of basic dimensions of Length [L], Mass [M] and Time [t]. For example, all units of force have the dimensions [M][L][t]22. The following
better illustrates this convention:

Force 5 [M][L][t]22

5 (Mass) 3 (Acceleration)
1 kgf 5 (1 kg) 3 (9.80665 m/s2)

Example Conversion
Meters to Yards
(50 m) 3 (3.28084 ft/m) 3 (1/3 yd/ft) 5 54.68066 yd

Significant Digits
The convention is to retain the number of digits which correctly infers
the known accuracy of the numbers involved. Normally, this means
using the same number of significant digits as occur in the original
number. For the above example, the answer would therefore be
rounded to 55 yards.
When the accuracy of the measurement is known, additional digits
may become significant. For example, if the measurement of 50
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
effected by forming a fine dispersion with nitrogen and oxygen which
restricts austenite grain growth. Aluminum is also an extremely effective
nitride former in nitriding steels.
BORON - B
is usually added between .0005-.003% to significantly increase the hardenability, especially for low carbon alloys. It does not affect the strength
of ferrite, therefore not sacrificing ductility, formability or machinability
in the annealed state.
CALCIUM - Ca
is used in certain steels to control the shape, size and distribution of
oxide and/or sulfide inclusions. Benefits may include improved ductility,
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
formation of fine pearlite, and lowers the Ms temperature, therefore
increasing the probability of retained austenite.

123

GLOSSARY continued
MOLYBDENUM - Mo
increases hardenability of steels and helps maintain a specified hardenability. 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.
Niobium increases strength at elevated temperatures, results in finer grain
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
of manganese sulfide stringers, sulfur is typically added to improve
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.

124

GLOSSARY continued
TELLURIUM - Te
is added to steel to modify sulfide type inclusion size, morphology and
distribution. The resulting sulfide type inclusions are finer and remain
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.

Standard Mill Terminology

ANNEALING
A treatment consisting of heating uniformly to a temperature, within or
above the critical range, and cooling at a controlled rate to a temperature
under the critical range. This treatment is used to produce a definite
microstructure, usually one designed for best machinability, and/or to
remove stresses, induce softness, and alter ductility, toughness or other
mechanical properties.
BILLET
A solid semifinished round or square that has been hot worked usually
smaller than a bloom. Also a general term for wrought starting stock for
forgings or extrusions.
BLOOM
A semifinished hot rolled rectangular product. The width of the bloom is
no more than twice the thickness and the cross-sectional area is usually
not less that 36 square inches.
CAPPED STEEL
A type of steel similar to rimmed steel, usually cast in a bottle top ingot,
in which the application of a mechanical or chemical cap renders the
rimming action incomplete by causing the top metal to solidify.
DI (Ideal Diameter)
The diameter of a round steel bar that will harden at the center to a given
percent of martensite when subjected to an ideal quench (i.e., Grossman
quench severity H=infinity)
ELONGATION
In tensile testing, the increase in gage length, measured after the fracture
of a specimen within the gage length, usually expressed as a percentage
of the original gage length.

125

GLOSSARY continued
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
specimen above the upper critical temperature, placing the hot specimen
in a fixture so that a stream of cold water impinges on one end, and,
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.
HARDNESS
Resistance of a metal to plastic deformation, usually by indentation.
However, this may also refer to stiffness or temper, or to resistance to
scratching, abrasion, or cutting.
IMPACT TEST
A test to determine the behavior of materials when subjected to high rates
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.
INGOT
A casting of a simple shape which can be used for hot working or
remelting.
KILLED STEEL
Steel treated with a strong deoxidizer to reduce oxygen to a level where
no reaction occurs between carbon and oxygen during solidification.
LAP
A surface imperfection which appears as a seam. It is caused by the
folding over of hot metal, fins, or sharp corners and then rolling or forging
them into the surface but not welding them. Laps on tubes can form from
seams on piercing mill billets.
MACHINABILITY
This is a generic term for describing the ability of a material to be machined.
To be meaningful, machinability must be qualified in terms of tool wear,
tool life, chip control, and/or surface finish and integrity. Overall machining
performance is affected by a myriad of variables relating to the machining
operation and the workpiece. An overall review is provided in the ASM
Metals Handbook: Machinability, Ninth Edition, Volume 16, 1989.
NORMALIZING
A treatment consisting of heating uniformly to temperature at least 100F
above the critical range and cooling in still air at room temperature. The
treatment produces a recrystallization and refinement of the grain structure
and gives uniformity in hardness and structure to the product.

126

GLOSSARY continued
PICKLING
An operation by which surface oxide (scale) is removed by chemical
action. Sulfuric acid is typically used for carbon and low-alloy steels.
After the acid bath, the steel is rinsed in water.
QUENCHING
A treatment consisting of heating uniformly to a predetermined temperature and cooling rapidly in air or liquid medium to produce a desired
crystalline structure.
REDUCTION OF AREA
The difference, expressed as a percentage of original area, between the
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 evolution of carbon monoxide during solidification giving a rim of material
virtually free of voids.
SCAB
An imperfection which is a flat piece of metal rolled into the steel surface.
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
to react with the carbon to form carbon monoxide to offset solidification
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 bottom of the mold as it solidifies. The length is not determined by mold
dimensions.
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.

127

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
The first stress in a material, usually less than the maximum attainable 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
The stress at which a material exhibits a specified deviation from
proportionality of stress and strain. An offset of .2% is commonly
used.
