Definitions

  • the invention relates to austenitic stainless steel for cold deformation type cold stamping.
  • Steels that contain a minimum of 11% chromium are said to be rustproof and have a good resistance to corrosion.
  • the austenitic stainless steels also contain nickel, which gives them advantageous properties of implementation, especially in cold processing.
  • One of the austenitic steels most commonly used is a steel whose composition is as follows: C ⁇ 0.08, Si ⁇ 1%, Mn ⁇ 2%, S ⁇ 03%, P ⁇ 0.045%, 18 ⁇ Cr20%, 8 ⁇ Ni ⁇ 12%, which lends itself well to cold processing, but is limited in the field of deformation due to its relatively high work hardening coefficient, defining a significant consolidation due to the formation of hardening martensite.
  • Another austenitic stainless steel of the following composition is known: C ⁇ 0.12%; If ⁇ 1%; Mn ⁇ 2%; S ⁇ 0.03%; P ⁇ 0.045%; 17 ⁇ Cr ⁇ 19%; 10 ⁇ Ni ⁇ 13%, which provides a solution to the problem of hardenability due to a relatively high nickel content, which reduces the formation of hardening martensite.
  • the presence of nickel at these levels also limits the elongation properties of the steel, moreover, this steel is expensive given the high nickel content.
  • Copper acts as nickel by limiting the formation of martensite hardening.
  • there is an upper limit for the use of copper typically 3.5%, which can not be exceeded, to avoid a burn phenomenon during the hot rolling of the steel.
  • this higher copper content makes it possible to obtain a good deformation capacity, or even to reduce the nickel content globally to around 8%.
  • Such a steel composition is used in cold stamping long stainless steel products.
  • This composition is recommended especially for cold-heading applications, for which it offers a low coefficient of work hardening thanks to very high levels of nickel and manganese.
  • EP 0 976 541 A discloses a composite wire comprising a carbon steel core and a stainless steel coating.
  • the composition of the stainless steel whose structure is predominantly martensitic after drawing, comprises 0.005 to 0.05% of C, 0.005 to 0.05% of N, 0.1 to 2% of Si, of 0 , 1 to 5% Mn, 5 to 12% Ni, 10 to 20% Cr, 0 to 3% Mo and 0 to 4% Cu, the remainder being iron and impurities resulting from development.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a cold-workable austenitic stainless steel that can be machined with improved mechanical properties compared with standard austenitic stainless steel steels, properties of great interest for impact-type processing applications. cold,
  • Md30 551 - 462 (C% + N%) - 9.2Si% - 20 Mn% - 13.7 Cr% - 29 Ni% - 29 Cu% - 18, 5 MB% is less than -60.
  • the carbon is controlled to a content of less than 0.030% in order to limit the formation and hardening of martensite hardening. In the same way, and for the same reason, it is necessary to control the sum of the carbon and nitrogen contents to a value of less than 0.07%.
  • the nickel content has been lowered between 4.55% and 7% and preferably about 5%.
  • the lowering of the Ni content is compensated by a manganese content of between 5% and 9% and preferably about 8%.
  • the chromium content guarantees a good resistance to corrosion, it is chosen between 15% and 18%.
  • Copper is present in the composition to stabilize the austenite. It is limited, as specified in the prior art to a content of less than 4%. A content greater than 2% is preferred for better stabilization of the austenite.
  • Sulfur is limited to a content of less than 0.01% and preferably to a content of less than 0.002% in order to limit the formation of manganese sulphides, which is detrimental to hot processing and corrosion resistance.
  • composition also contains molybdenum at less than 0.8% and phosphorus at less than 0.030%.
  • a composition of a steel 1 according to the invention has been compared with a reference standard austenitic steel, the compositions of which are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1.
  • the steel according to the invention has good corrosion resistance, comparable to that of a standard type 304 steel.
  • the steel according to the invention has a non-magnetic character in the annealed state, and weakly magnetic in the hardened state, in weldability, a weldability equivalent to that of a standard type 304 steel and machinability, machinability similar to that of a standard type 304 steel.
  • the steel of the invention is commercially at an attractive cost by using alloy elements that are less expensive than nickel, and it remains easy to use at all stages of its production, in particular thanks to a hot structure. and mechanical properties compatible with production in standard production of standard austenitic stainless steels.
  • the steel of the invention lends itself well to the production of parts comprising a first cold stamping operation followed by finishing machining.
  • the field of its use is potentially fastening such as screws, bolts, nuts, threaded rods, and all special parts implemented by cold stamping such as, for example, fittings, parts for the automobile such as bindings, air-bags, support and body of probes or else, parts for large series connectors such as, for example, electrical fasteners.
