  • a method commonly employed to attain increases in steel strength is age-hardening. This requires a suitable combination of alloy material as well as an appropriate aging treatment in order to attain the fine-dispersed precipitate which is necessary for such increase in strength.
  • the aging treatment which is usually accomplished at relatively low temperatures, is preceded in most cases by a solution anneal at high temperature.
  • austenite-ferritic steels having a high chromium content. such as the above identified type SIS 2324 steel. it has been found that such agehardening cannot be accomplished satisfactorily. 1f the aging treatment is carried out at temperatures between 400C and 525C, there will occur the well-known socalled 475C-embrittlement.
  • the present invention makes it now feasible in the case of a corrosion'resistant austenite-ferritic steel having high strength, good ductility, impact strength and resistance to intercrystalline corrosion, surprisingly to attain, by means of age-hardening, an increase in its strength and resistance to corrosion while maintaining its impact strength.
  • This is accomplished by combining and adding a powerfully carbide-forming compound, such as niobium and titanium as well as aluminum, to an austenite-ferritic steel having a high content of chromium.
  • austenite In order to attain the desired strength characteristics, special attention must be paid to the proportion of austenite to ferrite in the steel. Excessive quantities ofaustenite in the steel will cause a lowering in strength after age-hardening, and tests have shown that the content of austenite must accordingly not exceed 35% by volume. On the other hand, the austenite influences ad vantageously the impact resistance when the material possesses the desired high strength characteristics, and the content of austenite should therefore not be reduced to a very low level. Thus, the austenite content will be a factor for attaining a fine ferrite grain size by its retarding effect on the growth of the ferrite grains during the solution anneal.
  • the austenite phase has an inhibiting influence on the propagation of cracks, and thus influences advantageously the ductility and the impact resistance of the steel. Tests have shown that, in view of the above discussed factors, the austenite content of the steel must be at least 10% by volume for the purpose of the present invention.
  • the steel of the present invention must contain between 10% and 35%, and preferably between 10% and 25%, by volume of austenite.
  • the steel In order to assure that the steel has an austenite content within these specified limits, it is necessary to take into consideration the ferriteor ausenitestabilizing effect of the alloys contained in the steel, and this can be accomplished roughly with the aid of a so-called Schaeffler diagram.
  • the invention is further characterized by the fact that the steel has the following composition, given in percent by weight:
  • Ti maximum value 1.5 preferably a maximum of 1.0 A1 0.1 2 preferably 0.5 1.0
  • Tables 1 and 2 show that even in case of small admix- Percem was found to be proper m PTaCtICe' tures of aluminum, such as 0.1%, significant increases EXAMPLES in strength are obtained after the aging treatment.
  • the other types of steel (Nos. 2-6 inclusive) in Table 1 are examples of the present invention, and the steel types 4, 5 and 6 having aluminum contents ranging from 0.5% to 1.0% are especially characteristic of the invention.
  • Table 2 (on the following page) lists the mechanical properties of the steel types shown in Table 1, together with hardness and aging treatment.
  • the standard steel SlS 2324 shows a substantial loss of weight after the aging treatment (at 600C, for 1 hour, with water cooling), while steel No. 8 (SlS 2324 aluminum) shows a much lesser loss St I HV cc z i i g gfigf'; 5 after an ldentlcal aging treatment according to Table 4.
  • Steels 4, 5 and 6, also listed in Table 4 prove definitely gig fig that a combination of aluminum with niobium in steel 3 237 5 SIS 2324 will eliminate completely the susceptibility to 4 237 13 5 235 24 IO corroslon.
