Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005076975A1] A low carbon alloy steel tube and a method of manufacturing the same, in which the steel tube consists essentially of, by weight: about 0.06% to about 0.18% carbon; about 0.5% to about 1.5% manganese; about 0.1% to about 0.5% silicon; up to about 0.015% sulfur; up to about 0.025% phosphorous; up to about 0.50% nickel; about 0.1% to about 1.0% chromium; about 0.1% to about 1.0% molybdenum; about 0.01% to about 0.10% vanadium; about 0.01% to about 0.10% titanium; about 0.05% to about 0.35% copper; about 0.010% to about 0.050% aluminum; up to about 0.05% niobium; up to about 0.15% residual elements; and the balance iron and incidental impurities. The steel has a tensile strength of at least about 145 ksi and exhibits ductile behavior at temperatures as low as -60° C.
