Definitions

  • This invention relates to the economical production of high strength, lightweight, low density, iron-manganese- aluminum alloys with all alloying elements balanced to result in a selectably controlled ratio of ferritic to austenitic structure.
  • iron-manganese-aluminum alloys can provide steels with austenitic structure, having the desirable characteristics of low density, resistance to oxidation, and high strength plus superior cold ductility for ready formability and toughness in service.
  • Iron- manganese-aluminum alloys including small guantities of additional alloying elements are described in United States Patent Nos. 3,111,405 (Cairns et al.) and 3,193,384 (Richardson) .
  • the production of alloys of this general character having suitable properties and hot-workability to allow economical manufacture on conventional steel mill facilities requires control of the resulting cast alloy crystal structure, i.e.
  • the relative proportions of body- centered (ferritic) crystal structure and face-centered (austenitic) crystal structure in the alloy must be present within a specified range to ensure that the alloys can be hot rolled with good yield to a useful product.
  • These alloys are expected to find application primarily in plate, sheet and strip form.
  • the hot rolling of these product forms makes this control of the proportions of ferrite and austenite particularly critical, owing to the high speeds and high rates of deformation encountered in commercial mill operations.
  • the ferrite-austenite ratio of austenitic steel alloys is of critical importance to the final properties of a steel alloy, and is itself dependent upon the elemental composition of the alloy.
  • the present invention provides a substantially austenitic steel alloy having a predetermined volume percent of ferrite structure lying in the range of about 1 percent to about 8 percent.
  • the alloy comprises by weight 6 to 13 percent aluminum, 20 to 34 percent manganese, 0.2 to 1.4 percent carbon, 0.4 to 1.3 percent silicon, the balance comprising iron.
  • Preferred ranges of these elements are: 6 to 12 percent aluminum, 23 to 31 percent manganese, 0.4 to 1.2 percent carbon and 0.4 to 1.3 percent silicon.
  • Other impurities present in small quantities will have an insignificant effect on the foregoing formula. Additional residual elements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper and other minor impurities may be present up to 0.5 percent, and phosphorus up to about .11 percent.
  • VPF 32 + 2.6(A1% ⁇ .08) + 5.2(Si% ⁇ .03) - 1.6 (Mn% ⁇ .16) - 8.5 (C% ⁇ .03) ⁇ 8 where all the symbols are as previously defined.
  • Banerji's prior disclosure does constitute a pin-point disclosure of a specific alloy that, were it not for the exclusion, would fall within applicant's preferred range.
  • the exclusion from the scope of the present invention may be considered to be (30 ⁇ 1)% Mn, (9 ⁇ 0.35)%, Al, (1 ⁇ 0.05)% Si, and (1 ⁇ 0.05)% C.
  • alloys falling outside the foregoing tolerances could not be predictably expected to give an acceptable ferrite value.
  • steel alloys which contain aluminum, silicon, manganese and iron in weight ranges similar to the ranges of each of these elements required for the present invention, (see, for example, United States Patent No. 3,193,384 to Richardson)
  • the prior art does not teach the making of alloys in which the relative proportions of these elements is selected from within these ranges so as to control the ferrite-austenite ratio.
  • Alloys made in accordance with the present invention must satisfy two requirements: (1) the weight percent of aluminum, manganese, carbon and silicon must lie in the specified ranges; and, at the same time (2) the weight percentages of these elements must satisfy the above-stated formula.
  • the lower limit for VPF is 2 instead of 1, the foregoing formula being otherwise unchanged.
  • the present invention accordingly provides a basis for selecting suitable austenitic steel alloys at relatively low cost. These alloys have low density and high strength as compared with most prior austenitic steel alloys, and at the same time have characteristics of good formability and hot workability, permitting fabrication by currently available industrial methods.
  • the invention provides a formula for specifying the elemental composition of iron-manganese- aluminum alloys so that the relative proportions of ferritic and austenitic structure permit commercial production at reasonable cost by established practices on conventional plant equipment.
  • Such low density, high strength, ductile alloys can be readily melted, cast and rolled to produce forms and sizes for use in the fabrication of steel products.
  • the elements and the composition ranges of the ele ⁇ ments selected to produce the data of Table 1 were chosen based upon studies reported in the literature and on the effects of these elements on the critical properties of density, strength, oxidation resistance, formability and weldability.
  • the heats were either 50 or 70 kg in weight, cast into approximately 3 or 5" square ingots, respec ⁇ tively. Samples cast simultaneously with the ingots were analyzed for composition and studied microscopically. Magnetic measurements were made for determination of the volume percent ferrite (VPF) resulting from the various compositions.
  • the ingots were generally hot rolled to a thickness of about 0.25 inches on a laboratory mill equipped to allow measurement of the rolling energy requirements of the various alloys. Selected heats were further cold rolled to 10.10 inch thickness.
  • compositions melted could not be hot rolled because of the presence of excess ferrite. Heating temperatures for these operations were in the range of 1560° (850°C) to 2150°F (1175°C) . No difficulty was encountered in hot working heats having a VPF in the range of 1 percent to 8 percent.
  • This equation relates the independent composition variables to the dependent variable of the volume fraction of ferrite to be found in or near the surface of the as-cast section of the alloy such as an ingot or cast slab that has been cooled without undue delay to below 600°F (315"C) .
  • alloys can be made having an acceptable level of ferrite, as calculated from the aforementioned formula, and which at the same time have composition levels of individual elements that do not go beyond known alloying restraints. These restraints require the weight percent of the alloying elements to be selected from the following ranges: 6 to 13 percent aluminum, 20 to 34 percent man ⁇ ganese, 0.2 to 1.4 percent carbon, and 0.4 to 1.3 percent silicon.
  • alloys according to the invention commences with the calculation of a composition according to the above formula to ensure that an acceptable level of ferrite is present in the crystal structure. Within the constraints imposed by that formula, the composition is also controlled to achieve the desired characteristics of density, strength, toughness, formability and oxidation resistance.
  • Manganese concentrations in excess of about 30 percent tend to cause the formation of embrittling beta manganese phase. Carbon in excess of about 1.0 percent has been shown to have a detrimental effect on corrosion resistance. Silicon in excess of about 1.3% has been found to result in cracking during rolling.
  • Alloys according to the invention may also contain small amounts of other elements as a consequences of the raw materials used in commercial melting. When a composition of alloy has been selected to achieve the desired ferrite-austenite ratio in accordance with the calculation above, the melt is heated up to about 2550°F to 2650°F (1400°C to 1450°C) at which temperature the alloy is molten. Alloys according to the invention can be melted by standard techniques, such as by the electric arc or induction furnace method, and may be optionally further processed through any of the "second vessel” practices used in conventional stainless steel making.
  • alloys according to the invention can be continuously cast to slabs on conventional machines and reheated and hot rolled according to usual industry practices.
  • Alloys according to the present invention present none of the phase change problems which have characterized earlier compositions.
  • the ferrite percentage as described above is kept within the range of about 1 percent to about 8 percent, the ingot can be hot worked and the coil product cold worked without adverse results. Hot rolling of these alloys can be readily accomplished on mills conventionally used for the processing of austenitic steels.
  • the lower melting point resulting from the higher total alloy content of compositions according to the invention must be recognized in the selection of a heating temperature for the ingots or slabs. Typically, 2150°F (1175°C) has proved satisfactory for the alloys within the preferred ranges of the composition constraints of the invention.
  • Alloys according to the invention can be successfully cold rolled if desired and tend to behave in response to temperature conditioning as do conventional austenitic steels.
  • alloys made in accordance with the present invention having a VPF between 1 and 8, have good hot rollability. It has also been found that the weldability (i.e. spot-resistance- or arc-welding) of such alloys is also dependent on the VPF. In particu ⁇ lar, adverse weldability effects have been found where the VPF is outside the range between about 2 and 12. Thus, where good weldability is desired as a characteristic of alloys made in accordance with this invention, the VPF should be controlled within a range of between 2 and 8, values of 2 or less being unsatisfactory for weldability and values of 8 and over being unsatisfactory for hot rollability. The foregoing formula is used in the selec ⁇ tion of the proportions of alloying elements, but the lower limit for VPF is 2 instead of 1.
