Definitions
- This invention deals with an austenitic stainless, precipitation hardenable chromium-nickel-aluminium steel with good cold workability. By tempering the martensite obtained by cold working, quenching or in some cases cooling to subzero temperatures, precipitation hardening is obtained.
- the new alloy can be produced as hot rolled products such as wire rod, bar, strip and plate.
- Precipitation hardening of stainless steel using aluminium is a well-known technique. These steels can either be given an annealing treatment designed to raise the M s temperature so much that martensite is formed on quenching, or they can be annealed at a higher temperature giving an austenitic structure when quenched. In the latter case the steel can be subsequently cold worked, thus transforming the austenite into martensite. After one of these treatments the material can be precipitation hardened.
- the main purpose of the present invention is thus to improve the workability in the cold condition of Cr-Ni-Al steels by lowering the M s and the M d30 temperatures sufficiently to ensure that good workability is obtained without at the same time lowering them so far that the austenite is not transformed to martensite when cold worked. Martensite is desirable in the final product since it raises the mechanical strength considerably.
- Both heats were melted in a 10-ton high-frequency induction furnace, ingot teemed and rolled to billets. These were conditioned and rolled to wire rod, 0 6.0 mm for heat 3423-71 and 0 5.6 mm for heat 4029-71.
- the wire rod was subjected to a normal anneal at 1050°C, pickled and inspected before being drawn to wire.
- Heats 3423-71 (Table 1) and 3226-71 have been drawn from wire rod, 0 6.0 mm, using single drafts.
- the tensile strength (R m ), yield strength (R e ), and reduction of area (Z) as measured by tensile testing are compared in Figure 1. It is apparent that the yield and tensile strengths increase more slowly for the alloy in the invention (continuous curve) thus causing the drawability, measured as maximum achievable area reduction, to increase from 75% to 92%.
- the ductility measured as reduction of area is higher for the alloy in the invention over the whole range and particularly at large area reductions. It should be noted that stress cracks are completely absent in the material for area reductions as large as 92% compared with 17-7 PH where a definite risk of stress crack formation exists at area reductions as low as 45%.
- Tempering treatment 30 minutes at 450°C.
- the tempering treatment gives an increase of yield and tensile strengths of about 200 N/mm 2 for heat 3423-71 and about 400 N/mm 2 for heat 4029-71.
- the large difference between these effects can be explained by the fact that wire rod from heat 3421-71 has not been worked sufficiently, i.e. the austenite has not been transformed to martensite insufficient quantities prior to tempering.
- the alloy in this invention has mainly been developed in order to improve the cold workability of precipitation hardenable stainless Cr-Ni-Al steels.
- the composition can be set so that annealing in the temperature range 600-950°C leads to a rise in the Ms temperature due to carbide precipitation.
- the material can subsequently be cooled to ambient or subzero temperatures in order to obtain a transformation to martensite which can then be tempered.
- a particularly interesting application is cold heading where tensile strengths as low as 540 - 560 N/mm 2 have been measured on material annealed at 1050°C. This is true for both heats 3423-71 and 4029-71.
- the technical result of the invention is that the drawability is considerably improved at the same time as the precipitation hardening effect is retained. It is reasonable to assume that the good weldability can be improved by additions of zirconium and uranium instead of titanium. Since the'alloy has an extremely sluggish martensitic transformation in the annealed state the material can be stored and transported outdoors under cold weather conditions without risk of spontaneous martensite formation.
- the alloy according to the invention is annealed within the temperature range 600 - 950°C, quenched and cooled to below room temperature. The alloy can then be precipitation hardened by tempering.
- the alloy can also be quenched direct after hot rolling and subsequently cold worked and precipitation hardened by tempering.
