Effect of Purity on Reliability Characteristics of High-Strength Steel.

Abstract

This report describes the melting procedures used to produce the ultra-high-purity and conventional-purity steels, the rolling and heat-treatment procedures, and the properties obtained for the conventional-purity steels. Vacuum-induction heats of the high-purity-level steels were produced by special multiple-melting procedures and cast into 7-1/2-inch-diameter (19 cm) ingots. The Ingots have been shipped to Latrobe Steel Company for vacuum-arc remelting (VAR) to achieve further reductions in oxygen and nitrogen contents and a refined cast structure prior to forging slabs and rolling to plate.
