Abstract:
Wire for cutting feedstock and a method for cutting feedstock with the wire. The wire may include an iron based alloy comprising at least 35 at% iron, nickel and/or cobalt in the range of about 7 to 50 at%, at least one non-metal or metalloid selected from the group consisting of boron, carbon, silicon, phosphorus, and/or nitrogen present in the range of about 1 to 35 at%, and one metal selected from the group consisting of copper, titanium, molybdenum, aluminum, and/or chromium present in the range of about 0 to 25 at%, wherein the wire has an aspect ratio of greater than one and exhibits metallic and/or crystalline phases of less than 500 nm in size.
Abstract:
A drill pipe and a method of applying hardbanding thereto. A hardbanding alloy comprising iron and manganese present in the range of 67 to 87 weight percent (wt. %), niobium and chromium present in the range of 9 to 29 wt. %, and boron, carbon and silicon present in the range of 3 to 6.5 wt. % may be welded around at least a portion of a tool joint circumference. The hardbanding alloy may exhibit a hardness of 45 Rc to 70 Rc and a wear rate in the range of 0.08 grams to 1.60 grams of mass loss after 6,000 cycles as measured using ASTM G65-04, Procedure A.
Abstract:
This disclosure is directed at methods for mechanical property improvement in a metallic alloy that has undergone one or more mechanical property losses as a consequence of shearing, such as in the formation of a sheared edge portion or a punched hole. Methods are disclosed that provide the ability to improve mechanical properties of metallic alloys that have been formed with one or more sheared edges which may otherwise serve as a limiting factor for industrial applications.

Abstract:
This disclosure deals with a class of metal alloys with advanced property combinations applicable to metallic sheet production. More specifically, the present application identifies the formation of metal alloys of relatively high strength and ductility and the use of one or more cycles of elevated temperature treatment and cold deformation to produce metallic sheet at reduced thickness with relatively high strength and ductility.
Abstract:
A method of forming an iron based glass forming alloy. The method may include providing a feedstock of an iron based glass forming alloy, melting the feedstock, casting the feedstock into an elongated body in an environment comprising 50% or more of a gas selected from carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to weldability of steel alloys that provide weld joints which retain hardness values in a heat affected zone adjacent to a fusion zone and which also have improved resistance to liquid metal embrittlement due to the presence of zinc coatings.
Abstract:
This invention is related to retention of mechanical properties in high strength steel at reduced thicknesses and which mechanical property performance is also retained at relatively high strain rates. These new steels can offer advantages for a myriad of applications where reduced sheet thickness is desirable. In addition, the alloys herein are those that retain useful mechanical properties after introduction of a geometric discontinuity and an accompanying stress concentration.
Abstract:
This invention relates to prevention of delayed cracking of metal alloys during drawing which may occur from hydrogen attack. The alloys find applications in parts or components used in vehicles, such as bodies in white, vehicular frames, chassis, or panels.
