Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017196552A1] Niobium chromium low allow carbon steel for automotive chain link plates has improved wear resistance. In one preferred embodiment, the steel composition includes niobium, chromium, carbon, iron, and any impurities. One preferred composition including these components includes, by weight percentage, approximately 0.25% to 0.75% carbon, approximately 0.20% to 2.0% chromium, approximately 0.26% to 1.5% niobium, and the remaining component of the composition is iron. Trace amounts of impurities may also be present. In another embodiment, a steel composition includes, by weight percentage, approximately 0.25% to 0.75% carbon, approximately 0.2% to 1.0% manganese, approximately 0.05% to 0.60% silicon, approximately 0.26% to 1.5% niobium, approximately 0.20% to 2.0% chromium, up to approximately 0.30% aluminum, up to approximately 0.03% phosphorus, up to approximately 0.03% sulfur, and a remainder of the composition being iron and any other impurities.
