Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to metal materials, and in particular provides metal materials that can be used to make various precision bearing parts and structural parts with ultra-high strength requirements. technical background:

[0002] C mn Si Cr Mo Ni S P 0.42~0.48 0.5~1.0 0.25~0.35 0.9~1.2 0.15~0.35 1.5~2 <0.01 <0.01

[0003] Some data show that the tensile strength of this material can reach about 2000MPa after heat treatment. However, the inventors found that the tensile strength of 40CrNiMo and 40CrNiMoA after heat treatment (quenching + low temperature tempering) could not reach 2000MPa without liquid nitrogen cryogenic treatment, so their performance could not meet the application requirements. Invention content:

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new low-cost low-alloy ultra-high-strength steel. This low-alloy ultra...
