Equivalent carbon content Wikipedia. The equivalent carbon content concept is used on ferrous materials, typically steel and cast iron, to determine various properties of the alloy when more than just carbon is used as an alloyant, which is typical. The idea is to convert the percentage of alloying elements other than carbon to the equivalent carbon percentage, because the iron carbon phases are better understood than other iron alloy phases. Most commonly this concept is used in welding, but it is also used when heat treating and casting cast iron. In welding, equivalent carbon content C. E is used to understand how the different alloying elements affect hardness of the steel being welded. This is then directly related to hydrogen induced cold cracking, which is the most common weld defect for steel, thus it is most commonly used to determine weldability.

Each of these elements tends to influence the hardness and weldability of the steel to different magnitudes, however, making a method of comparison necessary to judge the difference in hardness between two alloys made of different alloying elements. There are two commonly used formulas for calculating the equivalent carbon content. One is from the American Welding Society AWS and recommended for structural steels and the other is the formula based on the International Institute of Welding IIW. The AWS states that for an equivalent carbon content above 0. HAZ on flame cut edges and welds. However, structural engineering standards rarely use CE, but rather limit the maximum percentage of certain alloying elements. This practice started before the CE concept existed, so just continues to be used. This has led to issues because certain high strength steels are now being used that have a CE higher than 0. CECMnSi. 6CrMoV5CuNi. CECleftfrac MnSi6rightleftfrac CrMoV5rightleftfrac CuNi1. The other and most popular formula is the Dearden and ONeill formula, which was adopted by IIW in 1. This formula has been found suitable for predicting hardenability in a large range of commonly used plain carbon and carbon manganese steels, but not to microalloyed high strength low alloy steels or low alloy Cr Mo steels. The formula is defined as follows 2CECMn. CrMoV5CuNi. CECfrac Mn6leftfrac CrMoV5rightleftfrac CuNi1. For this equation the weldability based on a range of CE values can be defined as follows 25Carbon equivalent CEWeldability. Up to 0. 3. 5Excellent. Very good. 0. 4. 10. Good. 0. 4. 60. 5. Fair.

The carbon equivalent is a measure of the tendency of the weld to form martensite on cooling and to suffer brittle fracture. When the carbon equivalent is between 0. When the carbon equivalent is above 0. The following carbon equivalent formula is used to determine if a spot weld will fail in high strength low alloy steel due to excessive hardenability 2CECMn.

A CE value of 0. 3 or less is considered safe. A special carbon equivalent was developed by Yurioka,7 which could determine the critical time in seconds t.

CECast ironeditFor cast iron the equivalent carbon content CE concept is used to understand how alloying elements will affect the heat treatment and casting behavior. It is used as a predictor of strength in cast irons because it gives an approximate balance of austenite and graphite in final structure. The following formulas are used to determine the CE in cast irons 8CEC0. Si0. 3. 3P0. Mn0. Sdisplaystyle CEC0. Siright0. 3. 3leftPright 0. Mnright0. 4leftSrightCEC0. Sidisplaystyle CEC0.

When casting cast iron this is useful for determining the final grain structure for example, a hypereutectic cast iron usually has a coarse grain structure and large kish graphite flakes are formed. Also, there is less shrinkage as the CE increases. When heat treating cast iron, various CE samples are tested to empirically determine the correlation between CE and hardness.
