摘要:
A high strength steel comprises, during intercritical annealing, about 20-80% volume ferrite and 20-80% austenite, and wherein the Ms temperature calculated for the austenite phase during intercritical anneal ≦100° C. The high strength steel exhibits a tensile elongation of at least 20% and an ultimate tensile strength of at least 880 MPa. The high strength steel may comprise 0.20-0.30 wt % C, 3.0-5.0 wt % Mn, with Al and Si additions such that the optimum intercritical temperature is above 700° C.
摘要:
A method for processing a dual phase steel sheet. The method includes heating the steel sheet to a first temperature (T1), cooling the steel sheet to a second temperature (T2), transitioning the steel sheet to a third temperature (T3), and cooling the steel sheet to room temperature. T1 is at least above the temperature at which the steel sheet transforms to austenite and ferrite. T2 is below the martensite start temperature (Ms). The cooling rate to T2 is sufficiently rapid to transform at least some austenite to martensite.

Increasing the chromium content of an electrical steel substrate to a level greater than or equal to about 0.45 weight percent (wt%) produced a much improved forsterite coating having superior and more uniform coloration, thickness and adhesion. Moreover, the so-formed forsterite coating provides greater tension potentially reducing the relative importance of any secondary coating.
摘要:
A zinc-coated steel may be produced by performing a pre-alloying heat treatment after galvannealing the steel and prior to the hot stamping the steel. The pre-alloying heat treatment is conducted at a temperature between about 850° F. and about 950° F. in an open coil annealing process. The pre-alloying heat treatment allows for shorter time at the austenitization temperature to form a desired α-Fe phase in the coating by increasing the concentration of iron. This also decreases the loss of zinc, and a more adherent oxide exists after hot stamping.
摘要:
Steel with high strength and good formability is produced with compositions and methods for forming austenitic and martensitic microstructure in the steel. Carbon, manganese, molybdenum, nickel copper and chromium may promote the formation of room temperature stable (or meta-stable) austenite by mechanisms such as lowering transformation temperatures for non-martensitic constituents, and/or increasing the hardenability of steel. Thermal cycles utilizing a rapid cooling below a martensite start temperature followed by reheating may promote formation of room temperature stable austenite by permitting diffusion of carbon into austenite from martensite.

A cost effective ferritic stainless steel exhibits improved corrosion resistance comparable to that observed on Type 304L steel. The ferritic stainless steel is substantially nickel-free, dual stabilized with titanium and columbium, and contains chromium, copper, and molybdenum.
摘要:
The pickling process designed for pickling electrical steel strip in a continuous fashion comprising immersing the strip in at least one pickling tub. The pickling tub contains a mixture of HCl, Fe2+, and Fe3+ and a low concentration of HF. Upon exiting the final pickling tub, the strip may be brushed or scrubbed to loosen any residual scale to form a clean strip.
摘要:
Non-oriented electrical steels are widely used as the magnetic core material in a variety of electrical machinery and devices, particularly in motors where low core loss and high magnetic permeability in all directions of the strip are desired. A method for producing a non-oriented electrical steel with low core loss and high magnetic permeability provides a steel that is produced from a steel melt which is cast as a thin strip or sheet, cooled, hot rolled and/or cold rolled into a finished strip. The finished strip is further subjected to at least one annealing treatment wherein the magnetic properties are developed, making the steel strip suitable for use in electrical machinery such as motors or transformers.
