Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1239257A1] Production of tubes comprises twisting forged pieces from a molten block made from a tempered steel; initially hardening the blanks obtained; annealing; boring; and finishing. The tempered steel contains (in wt.%) 0.20-0.50 carbon, ≤ 1.0 silicon, ≤ 1.0 manganese, ≤ 0.03 phosphorus, ≤ 0.03 sulfur, ≤ 0.1 aluminum, ≤ 2 chromium, ≤ 4 nickel, ≤ 1 molybdenum, ≤ 0.5 vanadium and a balance of iron. Preferred Features: The tempered steel contains (in wt.%) 0.30-0.40 carbon, 0.15-0.35 silicon, 0.40-0.70 manganese, ≤ 0.015 phosphorus, ≤ 0.010 sulfur, ≤ 0.015 aluminum, 1.0-1.40 chromium, 2.50-3.50 nickel, 0.35-0.60 molybdenum, 0.08-0.20 vanadium and a balance of iron.
