Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020058269A1] The invention relates to a steel, which during surface hardening without subsequent expansion annealing not only has the potential to develop a hardened surface layer having a high surface, in particular amounting to more than 820 HV1, but also has a viscous, fine-grained core structure and simultaneously has good weldability. For this purpose, a steel according to the invention consists of (in % by weight) C: 0.10 - 0.19%, Si: ≤ 0.15%, Mn: ≤ 1.0%, P: ≤ 0.015%, S: ≤ 0.015%, Cr: 0.2 - 1.0%, Ni: 0.7 - 2.0%, Mo: 0.5 - 1.0%, N: ≤ 0.015%, AI: 0.010 - 0.060%, Cu: ≤ 0.20%, B: ≤ 0.005%, and also in each case optionally one or more elements from the group "W, Ti, Nb, V, Ta" in contents according to the following proportions W: 0.15 - 0.65 %, Ti: 0.01 - 0.04 %, Nb: 0.015 - 0.05 %, Ta: 0.01 - 0.04 %, V: 0.04 - 0.12 %, and the remainder consists of iron and unavoidable contaminants.
