Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
A large gauge, high strength steel rod having a diameter of not less than 9 mm prepared by the process which comprises subjecting a high carbon steel rod billet consisting essentially of from 0.65 to 0.9% C, from 0.15 to 1.5% chromium, less than 2.0% silicon, less than 1.5% manganese, at least one element from the group consisting of aluminum, niobium, vanadium zirconium, and titanium in an amount of less than 0.3% in total, balance essentially iron, to hot rolling immediately followed by a controlled cooling treatment, by the use of an air cooling medium, so as to effect a phase transformation to obtain a structure consisting essentially of fine pearlite, wherein said steel rod has a tensile strength of above 115 kg/mm 2 , and wherein the reduction in the area of said rod obtained by tensile test is in excess of 35%.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
