Patent number: 8652396Abstract: A method continuously creates a bainite structure in a carbon steel, especially a strip steel by austenitizing the carbon steel; introducing the austenitized carbon steel into a bath containing a quenching agent; adjusting the carbon steel to the transformation temperature for bainite and maintaining the transformation temperature for a certain period of time; and then cooling the carbon steel. The carbon steel stays in the bath until a defined percentage of the bainite structure relative to the total structure of the carbon steel has formed. Residues of the quenching agent are removed from the surface of the carbon steel by blowing the same off when the carbon steel is discharged from the bath, and the remaining structure components of the carbon steel are then transformed into bainite in an isothermal tempering station without deflecting the carbon steel at all.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignees: C.D.

Publication number: 20090139616Abstract: The invention relates to a method for continuously creating a bainite structure in a carbon steel, especially a strip steel. The method comprises the following steps: the carbon steel (1) is austenitized (3) at a temperature exceeding the austenitizing temperature; the austenitized carbon steel (1) is introduced into a bath (2) containing a quenching agent (21) in order to cool the carbon steel (1) to a temperature lying below the austenitizing temperature; the carbon steel (1) is adjusted to the transformation temperature for bainite and is maintained (13) at the transformation temperature for a certain period of time; and the carbon steel is then cooled (17).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2006Publication date: June 4, 2009Inventors: Werner Kaiser, Heinz Hofinghoff, Hans-Toni Junius, Michael Hellmann, Peter Ebner, Heribert Lochner

Publication number: 20080006350Abstract: The invention relates to a method for shaping wire-shaped and rod-shaped starting materials by rolling, especially for rolling flat profiled elements consisting of a wire rod. The starting material is heated in a heating station at a desired temperature, shaped during at least one rolling process, and then cooled. According to the invention, once the starting material has been heated in the heating station, it is cooled in a cooling station to a pre-determinable rolling temperature; it is then shaped into a flat profiled element by rolling close to the gauge block, and then cooled and/or subjected to a subsequent treatment according to joining properties to be correspondingly adjusted. In this way, a series of different methods can be carried out by means of an installation for rolling starting materials with a patented structure, an austenite structure, a bainite structure or an undercooled austenite structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2005Publication date: January 10, 2008Inventors: Hans-Toni Junius, Heinz Hofinghoff, Norbert Brachthauser, Victor Blinov, Rudolf Kawalla

Patent number: 6953627Abstract: A process for the production of thin walled parts of steel, wherein there are layers that are at least partly differently treatable relating to their strength and hardness qualities. This process can include creating a composite material from a plurality of different layers by connecting at least one core layer and at least one surface layer together. At least one layer of the core or surface layer is cast adjacent to another layer to form a composite material having an alloy gradient that is flat at each interface between any of the core layer or the surface layer. Next, the process can include deforming the composite material along a length of these layers. Finally the process can include heat treating the layers to transform the strength and hardness qualities of at least one of these layers.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2001Date of Patent: October 11, 2005Assignee: C.D.

Patent number: 6874344Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cold-rolling metallic rolling stock (4), in which the rolling stock (4) passes through the roll nip (3) between oppositely driven rollers (2) at room temperature in order to undergo a plastic shape change. To avoid the problems caused by the use of liquid coolants and to achieve an improved surface quality of the rolling stock (4), the invention proposes that inert gas, which is at a lower temperature than the rolling-stock temperature in the roll nip, is blown into the region of the roll nip (3). The invention also relates to a cold-rolling stand for carrying out this method.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: C. D.

Publication number: 20030029530Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of thin-walled steel components and similar components, comprising an inner core layer (B) and an external boundary layer (A). Said layers are, at least partly, differently annealed. According to the invention, the disadvantages of conventional roll-cladding and case-hardening processes may be overcome by the following methodology: bonding core and boundary layers made from differently annealed steel alloys, in a casting process to give a combined material with flat alloy gradients on the boundary surfaces, moulding the composite material to the dimensions of the thin-walled components, annealing the components by heat treatment, whereby the layers made from the differently annealed steel alloys obtain different annealing properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2002Publication date: February 13, 2003Inventor: Hans-Toni Junius

Patent number: 5921487Abstract: A device for winding a steel strip for coiling an electric strip free of distortion onto a coil. The device comprises a computer-controlled winding device having a rotatingly driven winding core, and a strip feeding device having a strip guide head arranged spaced from the winding core and being displaceable parallel with an axis of the winding core. The strip guide head and winding core are thus relatively displaceable against each other horizontally parallel with the axis of the winding core. The winding device is programmed to coordinate the rotary speed of the winding core and the axial relative speed between the winding core and the strip feed to wind the electric strip in an oscillating motion with successively wound layers. The device reverses the direction of the axial relative movement between the winding core and the strip feed when ends of the coil are reached.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 1998Date of Patent: July 13, 1999Assignee: C.

Patent number: 5830535Abstract: A process is for producing a ski edge for incorporation into a ski consisting of rolled and heat-treated material, at least part of the surface of which is coated with a bonding agent. In order to reduce the labour and expense and environmental pollution in the production of ski edges and improve the reliability of the bond between the edges and body of the ski, the ski edge strip material is coated with the bonding agent (primer) at least in the region of the bonding surfaces in a continuous process following the heat treatment. Thus, the ski edge strip material is kept under reducing conditions directly before coating in such a way that the surface of the strip material is free of oxide before coating.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 1997Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: C.

Patent number: 5451276Abstract: A process is disclosed for producing a ski edge made of quenched and subsequently tempered steel having a head (2) that comprises the running surface and a flank (4) that projects into the body of the ski. The profiled edge (1) is at first rolled, then quenched and subsequently tempered over its whole cross-section. Afterwards, the flank (4) is partially tempered and provided in a separate operation with punched out openings. In order to obtain with this process a totally straight ski edge, the deviation in Rockwell hardness, seen in the direction of the cross-section and length of the profiled edge is set at less than 2.degree. HRC during quenching and subsequent tempering of the whole profiled edge. The warming-up temperature and duration during partial warming-up of the edge are the same over the whole length of the profile edge and the profiled edge is subjected to a constant bending strain before being punched.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1994Date of Patent: September 19, 1995Assignee: C.D.
