F-125 steel, is a chromium-molybdenum steel within the group of F-120 steels and F-130, high-strength alloy steels. The steels are metals formed by iron-carbon alloys (Fe3C) which can also contain certain alloy elements to improve some physical, chemical or mechanical properties. The F-125 steel belongs depending on the percentage of carbon to the medium steels in carbon content, since its content is 0.38 to 0.45% by weight of carbon. Medium steels in carbon content can be heat treated by austenizing, quenching and hardening in order to improve their mechanical properties. The microstructure is usually tempered martensite. These steels are stronger than low carbon steels but less ductile and malleable.
F-125 steel applied to pieces without broad thicknesses, subjected to great efforts of fatigue, admits tempering by induction and welding being widely used in the automotive and aeronautics sectors. It allows to reach resistance of 80/120 Kg/mm² maintaining a good tenacity in pieces of small sections.
The addition of elements such as Chrome and Molybdenum in steel, facilitates the heat treatment of these steels and facilitates the tempering of the pieces of considerable thickness and prevents deformations and cracks in the treated parts.
