Definitions

  • a steel of high yield strength and good notch toughness adapted for use in wrought form as well as weld filler metal has the essential composition, by weight: nickel 95-14%; cobalt 610%; carbon 0.060.l6%; molybdenum 0.7-l.5%; chromium .53%; and the balance iron except for residuals and minor impurities.
  • This invention relates to high yield strength steels having good notch toughness and to high yield strength weld metal of comparable properties.
  • steels In many applications where weight of the structure or thickness of the material must be maintained at a minimum, steels combining high yield strength and good notch toughness are required.
  • steels combining high yield strength and good notch toughness are required.
  • uses for which such steels are particularly suitable are the construction of pressure vessels, missile motor cases, submarine hulls, nuclear reactor pressure vessels and highly stressed structural members. Inasmuch as such uses require Welding operations, it is also essential that the whole weldment including the weld metal possess superior properties.
  • filler metals Two types have been used to join highyield-strength constructural alloys in the yield-strength range 160 to 220 K s.i.
  • One group of filter metals the maraging alloy steels, can be used to produce deposited and aged weld metal with satisfactory yield strengths but with only marginal toughness (30 to 50 ft.-lbs. Charpy V-notch energy absorption at F.).
  • the maraging filler metals are not particularly compatible with conventional carbon-containing alloy steels.
  • the second group of filler metals, carbon-containing nickel alloy steels are generally used in the as-welded condition and exhibit moderately good toughness (40 to 60 ft.-lbs.
  • the present invention involves high strength steel having notch toughness in excess of the above mentioned limits and generally having a yield strength-to-toughness relationship which is better than conventional high yield strength steels.
  • Steels according to the invention combine the strengthening principles of quenched and tempered steels with the strengthening principles of maraging steels and thus obtain a part of the strengthening from carbide precipitation and a part from precipitation of intermetallic compounds.
  • Such steels exhibit the advantages of both quenched and tempered and maraging steels without the accompany disadvantages of these types of steels.
  • weld metal of such compositions combine the resistance to weld cracking of low carbon maraging steels with the superior toughness of nickel-cobalt steels.
  • Quenched and tempered steels require a carbon content in excess of about 0.2% to exhibit yield strength in to 200 K s.i. range. At this carbon level, weldability is poor because the steel is subject to excessive cracking in the zone affected by weld heat and the maximum notch toughness obtainable is limited because of the brittleness of the carbides that strengthen these steels.
  • the production of carbon-containing quenched and tempered steels is economical and such steels are commonly used for a variety of applications.
  • Maraging steels are essentially carbon free and obtain strength from the precipitation of complex nickel-molybdenum and nickel-titanium intermetallic compounds and obtain additional strength from undetermined mechanisms involving molybdenum and cobalt.
  • Higher levels of yield strength and notch toughness can be developed in maraging steels because of the superiority of the strengthening mechanisms in these steels over the car- :bide precipitation strengthening mechanism in the quenched and tempered steels.
  • care must be taken during melting to obtain the lowest possible levels of carbon, sulphur, nitrogen and oxygen. This is necessary to prevent the formation of particularly harmful particles of TiC, TiS, TiN, AlN, TiO A1 0 which adversely affect notch toughness.
  • melting practices for maraging steels are relatively expensive and time consuming and special vacuum melting practices are required to develop optimum properties.
  • the present invention concerns a steel composition and weld metal for joining members thereof in which a part of the strengthening is obtained by the formation of nickel-molybdenum intermetallic compounds and part by the strengthening elfects of cobalt.
  • a part of the strengthening is obtained by the formation of nickel-molybdenum intermetallic compounds and part by the strengthening elfects of cobalt.
  • Such steels attain yield strength levels greater than 160 K s.i.

  • substantially iron means that the steels may contain small amounts
  • the preferred composition is a steel which consists essentially of 9.5 to 12% nickel, 6 to 10% cobalt, 0.1 to 0.16% carbon, 0.7 to 1.5% molybdenum, 1 to 2% chromium and the balance substantially iron. It has been found that Samples of these compositions were strengthened by austenitizing, water quenching and aging in a conventional manner and then subjected to mechanical property evaluation. The results of this evaluation and a comparison of these results with the properties of as-quenched samples are presented in Table II.
  • FIGURE 1 shows the aforementioned upper boundary limit of the strength and toughness of conventional steels in the range of to 200 K s.i. Also shown in FIGURE 1 are the yield strength and notch toughness of each of five steel compositions which differed only in nickel and cobalt contents. Compositions of these samples are shown in Table 111.

  • the properties of metals can be generally bare wires and inert-gas-shielded tungsten-arc welding.
  • Weld filler metal of our composition may be used in the as-deposited condition if a yield strength on the low side of the 160 to 220 K s.i. range is desired.

Thus, wrought aging practices for the base metal can be used. orms of steel typically have the best properties.
