Steel Alloy

Номер: US20120000336A1
Автор: Andreas Schremb
Принадлежит: Gebr Schmachtenberg GmbH

An alloy, such as a tool steel containing, in percent by weight, 0.5%-0.7% carbon; 1.80%-2.50% chromium; 0.90%-1.20% molybdenum; 3.50%-5.50% nickel and 0.60%-1.50% vanadium. The steel alloyed accordingly is eminently suitable for heat treatments for influencing strength. With a carbon content of less than 0.7%, a partially martensitic metal structure having a high ductility can be formed by way of hardening processes. Due to surface hardening, the carbon content may in some portions on the outer surface be greater than 0.7%.

Provided is a novel high-nitrogen stainless-steel pipe which is not obtained with any conventional technique, the stainless-steel pipe having high strength, high ductility, and excellent corrosion and heat resistance and being obtained through size reduction of crystal grains and strengthening by slight plastic working besides formation of a gradient structure in which the concentration of solid-solution nitrogen continuously decreases gradually from the surface. Also provided are hollow materials of various shapes and sizes which are formed from the steel pipe and processes for producing the steel pipe and the hollow materials. An austenitic stainless-steel pipe is treated in a range of the temperatures not higher than the critical temperature for crystal grain enlargement of the steel pipe material to cause nitrogen (N) to be absorbed into the surface of the pipe and diffused into the solid phase, while minimizing the enlargement of crystal grains during the treatment. Thus, a gradient structure is formed, the structure including a part that is close to the surface part of the pipe and has been highly strengthened by the formation of a high-concentration solid solution of N and a part in which ductility gradually increases toward around the center of the cross-section of the pipe as the N concentration decreases. Thereafter, the pipe is subjected to size reduction of crystal grains by utilizing, for example, eutectoid transformation of the austenite phase, thereby greatly improving the elongation (ductility) of the steel pipe. Furthermore, the steel pipe is strengthened by slight plastic working to give a high-nitrogen austenitic stainless-steel pipe having high strength, high ductility, and excellent corrosion and heat resistance. A plurality of the thus-obtained high-nitrogen austenitic stainless steel pipes of the same quality are disposed one over another so as to result in dimensions, e.g., diameter and wall thickness, according to the use or strength level, ...
