Definitions

  • High hardcnability and good high temperature ductility and creep properties are developed by austenitising the steel in the range 950 C. to 980 C., hardening by cooling to obtain a mainly bainitic structure, and tempering in the range 650 C. to 720 C. for at least 12 hours.
  • This invention relates to heat-resistant alloy steels and is concerned with producing agenerally improved steel of this nature having good resistance to high temperature creep combined with good mechanical properties, for use in large forgings.
  • the steel of the invention is heat treatable by austenitising in a temperature range 950 C. to 980 C., hardening by cooling to obtain a mainly bainitic structure, and tempering in a temperature range 650 C. to 720 C. for at least 12 hours.
  • Nickel from 0.5 to 0.7 Chromium from 0.9 to 1.1 Molybdenum from 0.65 to 0.85 Vanadium from 0.30 to 0.35 Niobium from 0.05 to 0.09
  • the balance of the constituents is iron, except for impurities and incidental constituents, such as sulfur which is present in an amount not exceeding 0.015 percent of the total weight, and phosphorous, which is also present in an amount not exceeding 0.15 percent of the total weight.
  • a steel produced according to the invention is particularly resistant to high temperature creep, and samples prepared from any part of a forging made from such a steel would withstand 1,000 hours at 550 C., and 7 tons per squareinch, and exhibit a total plastic strain of less than 0.1 percent;
  • the foregoing properties are developed by austenitising a forging produced from a steel of the invention in the range 950 to 980 C., and subsequently hardening the forging by cooling in air, steam, water-mist or oil so as to obtain a mainly bainitic structure.
  • the desired properties are then obtained by tempering the hardened steel in the range of from 650 to 720 C. for at least 12 hours. Optimum properties are usually obtained if the tempering treatment is carried out in the range of from 690to 710 C.
  • the carbon content in the range 0.22 to 0.26 percent by weight for optimum creep strength and creep ducility properties.
  • the manganese and nickel contents should be controlled to within the stated ranges so that the combined manganese and nickel content in the steel is not greater than 1.5 percent by weight, in order to prevent the steel reverting from a preferred upper bainitic structure to an austenitic structure when tempered at 700 C.
  • the vanadium content is such as to ensure optimum creep strength for the steel, without embrittlement, by the formation of a vanadium carbide phase in the steel.
  • Heat-resistant alloy steel consisting essentially of by weight from 0.20 to 0.30 percent carbon, from to 0.30 percent silicon, from 0.4 to L0 percent manganese, from 0.4 to 1.0 percent nickel, from 0.7 to 1.4 percent chromium, from 0.5 to 1.5 percent molybdenum, and from 0.25 to 0.40 percent vanadium, and further containing by weight from 0.03 to 0.15 percent niobium and from 0.002 to 0.010 percent boron to improve the hardenability, high temperature ductility and high temperature creep properties of the steel, the balance except for impurities and incidental constituents which include from 0 to 0.040 percent by weight sulfur and from 0 to 0.040 percent by weight phosphorus, being iron.
  • Heat-resistant alloy steel according to claim 1 containing by weight from 0.05 to 0.09 percent niobium and from 0.004 to 0.008 percent boron.
  • Heat-resistant alloy steel according to claim 1 containing 0.22 to 0.26 percent carbon.
