Definitions
- This invention relates to high-strength low-alloy steels and their method of manufacture.
- a high-strength low-alloy steel in addition to having high strength should also have good formability, toughness, weldability and fatigue resistance.
- an object of the present invention is to provide low-alloy steels having high strength in combination with excellent formability, toughness, weldability and fatigue resistance.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such steels characterized in a hot-rolled finished condition by a yield strength in excess of 80,000 p.s.i., an ultimate tensile strength in excess of 95,000 p.s.i., ductility as measured by percent elongation (2 inches) in excess of 18% and superior toughness.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide such steels which can be bent without cracking about an inside radius which is equal or less than the thickness of the steel.
- the steels of the present invention are fully killed and have the following preferred chemistry: carbon, .12% to .20%; manganese, 1.10% to 1.65%; vanadium, .05% to .20%; nitrogen, .005% to .025%; phosphorus, .04% maximum; sulfur, .025% maximum; silicon, .60% maximum; rare earth, 0 to .10%; iron, balance.
- the steels to possess the desired characteristics and properties of a yield strength in excess of 80,000 p.s.i., an ultimate tensile strength in excess of 95,000 p.s.i., ductility as measured by percent elongation (2 inches) in excess of 18% and superior toughness, are hot-rolled finished in the temperature range 1550° F. to 1650° F., and collected as by coiling or piling within a temperature range of 1025° F. to 1175° F. For the typical length of a modern hot-mill run-out table and conventional rolling speeds, the steel must be cooled at a rate within the range of 20° F. to 135° F. per second to maintain the finishing and coiling temperature specified.
- Material from Heat No. 797138 subjected to a high thermal practice i.e., finished at a temperature above 1650° F. and coiled at a temperature above 1175° F. exhibited a yield strength and ultimate tensile strength below that exhibited by material from the same heat finished and coiled within the specified range.
- Heats of Table II were all processed within the specified temperature ranges of the invention.
- Heat No. 4347 contained only .004% nitrogen and had a yield strength and ultimate tensile strength substantially below the desired strength levels.
- Heat No. 4391-1 contained vanadium below the minimum of .05% specified above and also had a yield strength and ultimate tensile strength significantly below the desired level.
- Heat No. 43233 contained vanadium in an amount near the upper limit employed by the steels of the invention and demonstrated a yield strength and ultimate tensile strength significantly above the specified minimum of 80,000 p.s.i.
- the ductility of the steel was 26.5.
- the specimens for which the data of Table III was obtained comprised one-half size Charpy V-notch samples.
- Heat No. 797566 was coiled at a temperature below the minimum coiling temperature of the invention, 1025° F., while Heat No. 806558 was both finished and coiled above the maximum temperatures of the invention.
- Heat No. 804982 was finished and coiled within the temperature ranges of the invention.
- Heat No. 804982 had lower transition temperatures at 50% shear and 10 ft.-lbs. than Heat No. 806558.
- Heat No. 804982 had lower transition temperatures at 50% shear for both longitudinal and transverse specimens and at 10 ft.-lbs. for the transverse specimen than Heat No.
- a rare earth in the amount of a .01% to .10% is added to the steel.
- Examples of rare earths employed in the invention are cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, yttrium, scandium, or mischmetal which, of course, is a mixture of rare earths.
- the rare earths may be added in a pure form or in the form of a compound, such as a silicide.
- the rare earth is preferably added to the steel in the ingot mold or in the ladle after the steel has been killed.
- the use of rare earths result in the formation of substantially spherically-shaped inclusions which retain their spherical shape in the hot-rolled product.
- Table IV The improved formability of such steels is shown in Table IV.
- composition of this alloy may consist essentially of at least about 0.12% carbon, a maximum of about 1.65% manganese, at least about 0.05% vanadium, 0.005% to 0.025% nitrogen, 0.04% maximum phosphorus, 0.025% maximum sulfur, 0.60% maximum silicon and the balance iron. .Iaddend.
- the steels of the invention possess excellent weldability and are highly resistant to either hot or cold cracking. Preheating or postheating of the weld area is not required. In addition, the steels of the invention are often more resistant to fatigue damage than a quenched and tempered alloy steel of the same or even higher yield strength. This is because the steels of the invention are not subjected to heat treating and therefore are virtually free of surface decarburization.
