Theoretical Calculation of Electronic Structure and Mechanical Properties of Quenched Carbon Structural Steel

Abstract

To investigate the fatigue property of carbon structural steel in theory, the microstructure and properties of quenched martensite must be studied in detail. In this paper, the electronic structure and mechanical properties of carbon structural steel in quenched state were calculated by the empirical electron theory of solids and molecules (EET). The relationship between electronic structure parameters and mechanical properties of martensite was investigated. The mechanical properties of quenched carbon structural steel were calculated theoretically, and the result of theoretical calculation is consistent with the experiment result.
