AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention achieves both high strength and ductility in a stainless steel strip or sheet. This allows for the design of components with more complicated shapes. The steel contains Cr, Ni, and has superior corrosion resistance, which means it may not require an antirust surface treatment after manufacturing. The steel has a high 0.2 proof stress and elongation, outperforming conventional metastable austenitic stainless steels.

Problems solved by technology

However, such a high strength and high ductility steel requires expensive cost of additional elements and has difficulty to be subjected to a cold rolling process to manufacture a steel strip and a steel sheet.
Furthermore, since many conventional steels do not contain Cr, corrosion resistance is insufficient, and thus, an antirust process is required.

examples

[0089]Now, examples will be explained together with comparative examples.

[0090]Example steel 1 and comparative steels 2 to 4 with different amounts of Mo were prepared. Chemical compositions thereof are shown in Table 1. In the steel of Example 1 in Table 1, steels (samples of Identification 1 to 5) having the metallic structure within the scope of the present invention and steels having metallic structures outside the scope of the present invention (samples of Identification 6 and 7) were manufactured. The metallic structures of the steels are shown in Table 2. Furthermore, manufacturing conditions of the steels are shown in Table 3. As to each of the manufactured steels (samples of Identifications 1 to 7), hardness (HV), tensile strength (Ts), 0.2% yield strength (YS), and elongation (EL) were measured and shown in Table 4, respectively. Note that, in Tables 1 to 4, a mark * indicates that the value therewith is out of the scope of the present invention.

Abstract

A metastable austenite stainless steel strip of high strength and ductility. The steel strip including C: 0.05 to 0.15%, Si: 0.05 to 1%, Mn: 2% or less, Cr: 16 to 18%, Ni: 4 to 11%, Mo: 2.5 to 3.5%, Cu: 0.4 to 1.0% with a remaining part of Fe, a dual phase structure of an α′ phase and a γ phase where the γ phase is composed of a γT phase and a γR phase, a sum of the γT phase and the γR phase is 15 to 50 volume %, and a γT phase area ratio defined by formula (2) (=100×(total area ratio of γT phase of entire observation area)) is between 1% and 20% inclusive, and 0.2% yield strength (YS) of 1400 N / mm2 to 1900 N / mm2 where a value of YS-EL balance satisfies at least 21,000 to 48,000.
