Effect of Purity on Reliability Characteristics of High-Strength Steel.
Abstract
Three vacuum-induction-melted high-purity electrodes have been successfully vacuum-arc-remelted and forged to slab. The high-purity slabs have now been rolled to 1-inch-thick plates and the plates have been heat-treated and the mechanical properties evaluated. Three kinds of high-purity steels were successfully produced. For each of the three high-purity steels, the level of nitrogen content was 20 parts per million (ppm) or less than 0.002%; the specific levels of the phosphorus, sulfur, and oxygen content were each generally less than 10 ppm or 0.001%.
