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 pickling process designed for pickling a metal strip such as a stainless steel strip reduces the amount of HF and/or HN03. The strip is immersed in at least one first pickling tub that contains a mixture of an acid such as H2S04, an excess of at least one oxidizing agent, and includes electrodes that may apply a current to the strip that runs through the mixture.
摘要:
An austenitic stainless steel ammunition cartridge (12) includes an outer region (16) and a base, wherein the outer region (16) is about 50% - 80% of the thickness of the base, which serves to minimize the sidewall ironing required to form the cartridge. The cartridge blank (10) can be formed by spin forming, compression forming, grinding, or a combination thereof. Tooling (76) to form the blank (10) can include at least a pair of blocks (80) and inserts (78), at least one insert defining a centrally positioned aperture (82).
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for pickling hot rolled, hot rolled & annealed, and cold rolled & annealed stainless steel strip in a continuous fashion. The process comprises a series of pre-pickling tanks and pickling tanks, and optionally includes a scrubber-brush tank, a de-smutting tank, a filtration unit and a heat exchanger. The process includes a HF/U2SO4 pre-pickle and a UF/U2SO4/U2O2 pickling step.
