Abstract

Abstract A process for manufacture of a steel band or steel strip, the steel comprising spheroidal carbide particles in a ferritic base, wherein a steel, the major part of which is a carbonaceous ferritic austenite conversion product which is, structurally, at least one of lamellar perlite, granular perlite, sorbite, bainite and martensite, and which is at a temperature below the steel A cl -temperature is heated to a temperature which is above the A cl -temperature and within the ferrite metastability range, the steel is then rolled at a temperature in the said metastable temperature range, and the steel is then cooled to below the A cl -temperature, the heating, rolling and cooling taking place in a time short enough to ensure that no substantial conversion to austenite occurs in the steel.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 124 words
A process for the manufacture of a band or strip of a steel comprising spheroidal carbide particles in a ferritic base which comprises heating a steel, the major part of which is, structurally, at least one carbonaceous ferritic austenite conversion product selected from the group consisting of lamellar perlite, granular perlite, sorbite, bainite and martensite, to a temperature which is above the A cl -temperature for that steel and within the ferritie metastability range for that steel, rolling the steel at a temperature in the said metastable temperature range, and then cooling the steel to below the A cl -temperature, the heating, rolling and cooling taking place in a time short enough to ensure that no substantial conversion to austenite occurs in the steel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 124 words
A process for the manufacture of a band or strip of a steel comprising spheroidal carbide particles in a ferritic base which comprises heating a steel, the major part of which is, structurally, at least one carbonaceous ferritic austenite conversion product selected from the group consisting of lamellar perlite, granular perlite, sorbite, bainite and martensite, to a temperature which is above the A cl -temperature for that steel and within the ferritie metastability range for that steel, rolling the steel at a temperature in the said metastable temperature range, and then cooling the steel to below the A cl -temperature, the heating, rolling and cooling taking place in a time short enough to ensure that no substantial conversion to austenite occurs in the steel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the steel is rolled at a temperature 10° to 50° C above the A cl -temperature.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the total time the steel remains above the A cl -temperature does not exceed 20 seconds.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 15 words
A process according to claim 3, wherein the total time does not exceed 10 seconds.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the steel which is heated and rolled is in the form of a band of initial thickness of 0.5-10 mm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 12 words
A process according to claim 5, wherein the thickness is 1-5 mm.
