Filed June 19, 1962, Ser. No. 203,444 Claims priority, application Japan, June 22, 1961, 3/22,237 4 Claims. (Cl. 148-143) This invention relates to the process for producing steel having high weldability and toughness at low temperatures. to a process for producing tough steel for low temeperature service which contains no costly nickel and is easy to produce, simple to heat-treat and low in cost.
Generally, a steel has a transition temperature which is determined by its constituency and will absorb high energy at the time of breaking on the higher side of the transition temperature and'low energy on the low temperature side. Therefore, it is considered necessary that a steel to be used at low temperatures should have a transition temperature low enough for the conditions which it is to be used under and further, should be tough.
A steel which has been extensively used for this purpose contains more than 2.5% nickel in order to keep the transition temperature low. However, when the alloying element nickel is added, the steel becomes costly and, further, special consideration is required for refining, ingoting, heating and rolling in the production of the steel and therefore the production cost is high.
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforementioned defects and to provide low-temperature tough steel which is easy to heat-treat and is low in cost.
A steel according to the present invention .can easily be made by melting in an open-hearth furnace, electric furnace or pure oxygen converter. Its chemical composition is approximately less than 0.14%' carbon, less than 0.5% silicon, 1.0 to 1.5% manganese, 0.01 to 0.04% aluminum and 0.008 to 0.020% nitrogen, less than 0.20%- of one or more of the elements niobium, tantalum and vanadium if required with the remainder being iron and unavoidable impurities. Small amounts of somespecial element may be added when required. Steel having such acomposition is produced by first melting, then rolling or forging, then heating to a temperature above 880 C., then quenching, further reheating to 600 to 700 C. and then cooling by air or the like.
Thus, the first of the fundamental features of the present invention is that when the aluminum and nitrogen are in a solid solution and supercooledin the steel they are deposited as aluminum nitride by heating from 600 to 700 C., which is below the A transformation point, and then cooling so that the toughness at low temperatures may be improved. As already. known, it is possible to improve the toughness by depositing aluminum nitride near the A transformation point. However, the method of increasing the toughness by depositing aluminum nitride below the A, transformation point, as in the present invention, is far more effective than any known conventional method. The present invention is the first to discover and apply such fact. When the above mentioned heating temperature is below 600 C., the deposition of aluminum nitride will be volumetrically insufficient. When it is above 700 C., the structure will become austenite and the structure and deposited state will be nonuniform and undesirable.
United States Patent More particularly the present invention relates "ice The second of the features is to produce a steel having a fine ferrite structure. That is, said aluminum nitride will be highly effective when, it is deposited in ferrite. Therefore, the steel is rapidly cooled from above 880 C. so that the steel will not have so-called hardened structure such as martensite or bainite but rather, should have a ferrite structure and that, before treating to deposit the aluminum nitride both the nitrogen and aluminum should be in solid solution in the steel.
In order that the aluminum and nitrogen are well liberated, the thermal condition before the depositing treatment must be restricted. The heating temperature above 880 C. in the heat-treatment of the steel according to the present invention is determined therefore. It is preferable that the heating time is as short as possible. However, as described later, the heating temperature must be kept in such range as will not make the crystal grain size coarse. The heating temperature before cooling is recommended to be about 880 to 950 C.
The cooling rate should be so rapid that no aluminum nitride will be deposited during cooling and must be controlled so that fine ferrite will appear and no hardened structure is made. A cooling rate of about 5 to 50 C./sec. is recommended. Further, in order to prevent aluminum nitride from being deposited, the COO1-' below the A transformation point. The carbon content.
is below 0.14% by weight so that a ferrite structure is obtained at the time of rapid cooling.
The silicon content is below 0.5%.by weight which is the normal requirement in steel making. The manganese content is as high as is possible and is about 1.0 to
1.5% by weight so that, as already known, the toughness at low temperatures is increased and the weldability is improved.
Further, if necessary, there may be added a small amount, e.g., less than 0.2% by weight of one or more of the elements niobium, tantalum and vanadium each of which will form a fine carbide, stable even at high temperatures, and will reduce the hardenability, accelerate the production of fine ferrite and, at the same time, improve the weldability of the'steel.
EXAMPLE A'steel containing the ingredients shown in Table 1 was produced by heating in an electric furnace to a temperature 'of 930 C. in 20 minutes. The steel was then rapidly cooled at a rate of 15 C./sec., then heated to a temperature of 625 C. for 30 minutes and was then cooled in air.
