| 20150114525 | TOUGH BAINITIC HEAT TREATMENTS ON STEELS FOR TOOLING - The invention relates to a method that has been developed to obtain good toughness and homogeneous properties through heavy sections in tool steels or likely highly alloyed steels. The microstructure attained is mostly bainitic. The method is especially good for hot work tool steels in applications demanding heavy sections and very high toughness. The method consists on the application of a low temperature bainitic transformation to tool steels presenting a low enough martensite transformation temperature (Ms). Additionally or alternatively cementite is replaced from the bainite by other finer carbides, mainly mixed carbides containing elements with stronger affinity for carbon than iron. The method is especially simple if applied to steels with high contents of Si or Al (>1.3% and >0.4% respectively) where cementite growth is impaired. The method works also well for low cost plastic injection moulding and structural steels. Even some higher alloyed tool steels can benefit from, the present method. | 04-30-2015 |
| 20160032430 | DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURE AUSTEMPERED DUCTILE IRON WITH DUAL PHASE MICROSTRUCTURE - A method for forming an austempered iron composition with a nanoscale microstructure includes a step of heating an iron-carbon-silicon alloy with silicon to a first temperature that is lower than A1 for the iron-carbon-silicon alloy. The iron-carbon-silicon alloy is then adiabatically deformed such that the temperature of the iron-carbon-silicon alloy rises to a second temperature which is sufficient to form proeutectoid ferrite and austenite. The iron-carbon-silicon alloy is cooled to a first austempering temperature. The iron-carbon-silicon alloy is then heated to a second austempering temperature that is greater than the first austempering temperature to form a dual phase microstructure. Characteristically, the dual phase microstructure includes proeutectoid ferrite and ausferrite. | 02-04-2016 |
