Abstract
THE straight-line relation between the coercive force and the carbon content of plain carbon steels has been observed by many investigators. The question arises how far can the relation be carried. The data published by authorities such as Benedicks, Metallografiska Institutet, Stockholm, and Cheney, U.S. Bureau of Standards, have been collected in the International Critical Tables1. They used samples containing very small amounts of silicon, manganese, sulphur and other impurities. If their results are plotted we obtain a straight line as shown in Fig. 1.
