  • Patent number: 6544354
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide high-strength steel sheets exhibiting high impact energy absorption properties, as steel sheets to be used for shaping and working into such parts to front side members which absorb impact energy upon collision, as well as a method for their production.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 1999
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2003
    Assignee: Nippon Steel Corporation

  • Patent number: 5964964
    Abstract: A propagation speed of a fatigue crack in a HAZ is restricted, and a fatigue strength of an as-welded joint can be improved, by limiting an area ratio of a ferrite micro-structure in the HAZ of the welded joint to 20 to 100% and the balance to one of a bainite, a martensite, a pearlite and a residual austenite micro-structure, or limiting a carbon equivalent of a steel plate used for the welded joint to not greater than 0.275.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5820819
    Abstract: The present invention has an object to provide a steel for a chimney or a gas duct, which is excellent in pitting resistance and rust adhesion in a corrosive environment caused by combustion waste gas in a plant in which the combustion of natural gas occurs. Pitting resistance and rust adhesion are remarkably improved in the steel of the present invention which steel is prepared by using a 5% Cr steel as the base, while reducing an impurity sulfur to not more than 0.010 wt. %, adding titanium within a range of 0.005 to 0.05 wt. %, and further adding nickel alone within a range of 1.0 to 2.5 wt. %, or adding molybdenum alone within a range of 0.10 to 1.0 wt. %, or adding in combination therewith trace amount of copper or molybdenum within a range of 0.10 to 1.0 wt. %.
