“…Specifically, the reductions in hardness values were 26, 28, and 26 for Steels 1, 2, and 3, respectively, which were not significantly different. This behavior was also observed by Khanh et al [26] in high-manganese steel, wherein hardness did not change much when the chromium content increased from 2% to 2.5%. Interestingly, Steel 3, which had no chromium content, showed a change in hardness even when varying chromium in the range [0.13, 0.656] wt%, suggesting that the chromium content in that composition of metals had no effect on hardness.…”
