Abstract

A steel, especially for castings, has the following composition, by weight:- Carbon 1.10% to 1.60% Manganese not less than 16% Vanadium 0.05% to 1.00% Chromium nil to 4.00% Titanium nil to 0.50% the balance being iron with tramp or trace elements and the manganese to carbon ratio being not less than 12:1. The heat treatment comprises water quenching from not less than 1000 DEG C and preferably 1100 DEG C.

Description

SPECIFICATION Wear-resistant steel This invention relates to wear-resistant steel and its object is to provide an improved steel of the kind, known as austenitic manganese steel, having a high manganese and carbon content and typified by British Standard BS 3100. 1 976. BW.10. which may be stated as: Steel for austenitic manganese steel castings Composition Element % min. % max.
Carbon 1.0 1.25-1.35 Silicon nil 1.00 Manganese 11.00 not specified Phosphorus nil 0.07 Sulphur nil 0.06 the remainder being iron with unavoidable impurities.
BW. 10 castings must be supplied water-quenched from a temperature of not less than 1 0000C.
It is known to use, in austenitic manganese steels, carbide formers including, for example vanadium, tungsten, titanium, chromium, niobium, tantalum and molybdenum.
The presence of manganese in an amount of more than 14% has been discussed as not giving any advantage unless there is included, as an essential ingredient, titanium in the amount of 0.10.5% for 1623% manganese and 1.11.5% carbon. For such a composition, with or without chromium in the range nil to 4.0%, improved wear resistance is claimed.
Research leading to the present invention has shown that a high manganese content can be used with advantage in an austenitic steel composition without requiring the presence of titanium although, as would be expected, the presence of titanium as a secondary ingredient or trace element is not disadvantageous.
According to the invention, a heat-treated austenitic manganese steel has the following composition, by weight:- Carbon - 1.109/0 to 1.60% Manganese - not less than 16% Vanadium - 0.05% to 1.00% Chromium - nil to 4.00% Titanium - nil to 0.50% the balance being iron with tramp or trace elements, unavoidably derived from the steel making materials or process, and the manganese to carbon ratio being not less than 12:1.
The heat treatment comprises water quenching from a temperature of not less than 1 0000C and preferably 1 000C which should be maintained for a duration of not less than 2 hours, depending on cross-section, to ensure solution of excess carbides.
The above composition provides a steel of improved hardness, whilst retaining adequate ductility and resistance to impact with good expectation of improved wear resistance.
No satisfactory method is available by whicn to test for or predict wear resistance because wear in use is the result of not only the steel in question but of the material on which it works. Work hardening is an important factor in wear and, although it might seem paradoxical, high stress gouging abrasion will work harden the steel more rapidly than low stress grinding abrasion.
There are however some indicators of potential wear resistance, including difficulty in machining which has been experienced with our new composition steel and is an indication of good metal-tometal wear resistance.
Tests for hardness values and bend and charpy impact tests give good results and the microstructure exhibits fine carbides evenly dispersed across the crystal whereas, in the titanium, high manganese, steel mentioned above, the carbides occur in random clusters in the crystals and grain boundaries.
The even distribution of predominant relatively hard vanadium carbide gives improved initial hardness of the steel and could reasonably be expected to improve wear resistance. The vanadium carbides in the steel will reduce the tendency of the ductile austenitic material to spread.
Although the invention has been described using vanadium, the possibility of adding or substituting another carbide former or formers is not precluded provided that the other parameters are met, particularly the manganese to carbon ratio. In particular the use of niobium, in place of or in addition to vanadium, is envisaged. For example, up to 4.00% chromium can be used to reduce the vanadium content.
For the main constituents, the following proportions are preferred: Carbon - 1.35% to 1.45% Manganese - 19% to 20% Vanadium - 0.25% to 0.35%.
The following Example is given of the constitution and test results of a heat-treated austenitic manganese steel casting in accordance with the invention.
(percentage Chemical composition parts by weight) Carbon 1.43 Silicon 0.60 Sulphur 0.008 Phosphorus 0.054 Manganese 19.40 Chromium 0.47 Nickel 0.19 Titanium 0.001 Vanadium 0.27 Heat treatment: water-quenched from 11 000C Test results: Bend: 60O unbroken Charpy impact: 64 joules Hardness value: 232 BHN.
The invention is not limited to the simple production of castings and may be applied, for example, to forged, rolled, extruded or other steel products, worked before the heat treatment. Machining may of course be carried out subsequently.

A heat-treated austenitic manganese steel having the following composition, by weight:- Carbon - 1.10% to 1.60% Manganese - not less than 16% Vanadium - 0.05% to 1.00% Chromium - nil to 4.00% Titanium - nil to 0.50% the balance being iron, with tramp or trace elements, and the manganese to carbon ratio being not less than 12:1.
