Carbon steels of high performance are disclosed that contain a three-phase microstructure consisting of grains of ferrite fused with grains that contain dislocated lath structures in which laths of martensite alternate with thin films of austenite. The microstructure can be formed by a unique method of austenization followed by multi-phase cooling in a manner that avoids bainite and pearlite formation and precipitation at phase interfaces. The desired microstructure can be obtained by casting, heat treatment, on-line rolling, forging, and other common metallurgical processing procedures, and yields superior combinations of mechanical and corrosion properties. |

The novel methods, apparatus and reworked rotary braking surface product, for example those exhibited on interior cylindrical braking surfaces of a cast iron brake drum, serve to replace manufacturing defects exhibiting residual tensile stresses and outwardly directed tool marks with smooth compressed braking surfaces in a final manufacturing stage. The plastically deformed surface shape with reduced roughness and surface irregularities furthermore presents improved braking strength above the yield point and approaching the ultimate material strength of the base drum material. An ultrasonic transducer drives individual freely moving impact elements of a set at frequencies up to 55 kHz into the braking surface to effect plastic deformation at surface and sub-surface layers. Physically, the small sized ultrasonic transducer is inserted into a drum cylinder and driven by a lathe producing relative motion between the braking surface and the ultrasonically vibrating impact elements scanning only the braking surface in a readily controlled ultrasonic impact machining cycle for attaining specified braking surface performance. |

The steel pipe has a structure composed mainly of ferrite or ferrite plus pearlite or ferrite plus cementite. The steel pipe is characterized by grain size not greater than 3 &mgr;m, preferably not greater than 1 &mgr;m, elongation greater than 20%, tensile strength (TS:MPa) and elongation (E1:%) whose product is greater than 10000, and percent ductile fracture greater than 95%, preferably 100%, measured by Charpy impact test on an actual pipe at −100° C. The structure is characterized by C: 0.005-0.03%, Si: 0.01-3.0%, Mn: 0.01-2.0%, and Al: 0.001-0.10% on a weight basis, and is composed of ferrite or ferrite and a secondary phase, with ferrite grains being not greater than 3 &mgr;m and the secondary phase having an areal ratio not more than 30%. A steel pipe stock having the above-mentioned composition is heated at a temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. and subsequently reduced at a rolling temperature of (Ac1+50° C.) to 400° C. such that the cumulative reduction of diameter is greater than 20%. The reducing is preferably performed such that at least one of rolling passes reduces the diameter by more than 6% per pass. The steel pipe will have high ductility and high strength and will be superior in toughness and stress corrosion cracking resistance, if the content of C, Si, Mn, and other alloying elements is limited low and reducing is performed at the temperature specified above. The resulting steel pipe has good fatigue resistance and is suitable for use as line pipe. |

Disclosed is an elongated metallic article having a curved section therein which has a first part formed on an outside part of the curved section, and a second part formed on an inside part of the curved section. The first part was initially deformed beyond a region of twin boundary deformation, but was thereafter returned to the region of twin boundary deformation. The second part was left deformed beyond the region of twin boundary deformation. When a compressive load is applied to the thus prepared article, and the first part and the second part are both compressed, the first part can deform more readily than the second part so that the article deforms into a more straight shape as its deformation progresses. Thus, the article may be made resistant to buckling in spite of the presence of the curved section. |

This invention provides methods of treatment for welded products by pulse impact energy, preferably ultrasonic, at original production, during the active life period for maintenance and after failure in a repair stage to improve the strength at the weld sites and to fashion stress patterns that reduce stress centers and micro-stress defects. The basic method steps are nondestructive in nature, inducing interior pulse compression waves that temporarily plasticize the metal to relax stresses and redistribute stress patterns in a gradient of metallic grain structure between a higher strength substantially grainless white layer at the weld seam to an internal base metal region in the welded body. Thus, a renewed longer life span and higher strength weld joint regions are generated in welded products. |
