Systems and Methods for Producing Hardwearing And IMPACT-RESISTANT ALLOY STEEL

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for producing a hardwearing or wear-resistant alloy steel. In one aspect, a first group of materials comprising steel may be heated, and melted to liquid form. The melted first group may then be mixed with a second group of materials comprising carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, titanium, rhenium, sulfur, and phosphorus, to yield a mixture. The mixture may then be cast, cooled, and heat-treated to yield the hardwearing or wear-resistant alloy steel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A process for producing a wear-resistant and impact-resistant alloy steel, the process comprising:
 providing a first group of materials, the first group of materials comprising iron;   providing a second group of materials, the second group of materials comprising carbon, chromium, nickel, manganese, silicon, molybdenum, titanium, rhenium, sulfur, and phosphorus;   mixing the second group of materials with the first group of materials to produce a mixture; and   casting the mixture to produce the wear-resistant and impulse-resistant alloy steel.   
     
     
         2 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises, by mass percentage, approximately 0.65% to 0.78% of carbon, approximately 2.2% to 2.8% of chromium, approximately 1.4% to 1.7% of nickel, approximately 0.6% to 1.1% of manganese, approximately 0.4% to 0.8% of silicon, approximately 0.5% to 0.7% of molybdenum, approximately 0.15% to 0.18% of titanium, approximately 0.10% to 0.12% of rhenium, approximately less than 0.035% of sulfur, and approximately less than 0.035% of phosphorus. 
     
     
         3 . The process of  claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises, by mass percentage, approximately 0.75% to 0.95% of carbon, approximately 2.2% to 2.5% of chromium, approximately 1.5% to 2.0% of nickel, approximately 0.6% to 1.1% of manganese, approximately 0.4% to 0.7% of silicon, approximately 0.5% to 1.0% of molybdenum, approximately 0.16% to 0.20% of titanium, approximately 0.10% to 0.14% of rhenium, approximately less than 0.035% of sulfur, and approximately less than 0.035% of phosphorus.
