Abstract (en)

[origin: US4689095A] The present invention provides a steel containing, by mass: from 0.16% to 0.22% carbon (C) less than 0.3% silicon (Si) less than 0.5% manganese (Mn) from 0.6% to 0.9% nickel (Ni) from 10.7% to 12.3% chromium (Cr) from 0.8% to 1.1% molybdenum (Mo) from 0.2% to 0.35% vanadium (V) from 0.07% to 0.20% niobium (Nb) from 0.05% to 0.11% nitrogen (N2) less than 0.008% boron (B) and not more than the following residual percentages by mass: 0.020% sulfur, 0.020% phosphorous, 0.025% cobalt, 0.010% aluminum, 0.02% titanium, 0.02% tin, 0.10% copper, 0.015% tungsten, 0.020% arsenic, and 0.0025% antimony; the remainder of the alloy being iron; said steel having a nickel equivalent calculated using the formula: Ni eq=30C+0.5Mn+2Ni+25N2+40B, lying in the range 9 to 10.2; and a chromium equivalent calculated using the formula: Cr eq=Cr+2Si+1.5Mo+5V+1.75Nb lying in the range 14.5 to 15.5; the ratio between the chromium equivalent and the nickel equivalent lying in the range 1.49 to 1.65.
