  • Patent number: 11261935
    Abstract: Manufacturing a steel sheet for a steel belt includes hot rolling a steel slab containing, in mass %, 0.60 to 0.80% of C, 1.0% or less of Si, 0.10 to 1.0% of Mn, 0.020% or less P, 0.010% or less S, 0.1 to 1.0% of Cr, 0 to 0.5% of V, 0 to 0.1% of Ti, 0 to 0.1% of Nb, and 0 to 0.01% of B, the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities, under a finish hot rolling temperature of 800 to 900° C. An average cooling rate from finish rolling to coiling is 20° C. per second or more. A coiling temperature is 450 to 650° C. The hot-rolled slab is cold rolled with a total rolling reduction ratio of 40% or more and a reduction ratio per one pass of less than 12%, without performing a heat treatment. The cold-rolled slab is aged at 200 to 500° C. for 0.5 to 30 hours.

  • Patent number: 10253390
    Abstract: A method of making a cold-rolled steel plate has a chemical composition containing, on the basis of percent by mass, C from 0.03 to 0.12%, Si from 0 to 1.0%, Mn from 0.2 to 0.8%, P at 0.03% or less, S at 0.03% or less, and Al at 0.05% or less. The chemical composition further contains any one of Nb from 0.03 to 0.4% and V from 0.03 to 0.3%. These elements satisfy 5*C %?Si %+Mn %?1.5*Al %<1 within the aforementioned range of the corresponding content. A residue is formed of Fe and unavoidable impurities. An average diameter of particles of carbides containing any one of Nb, V and Ti as precipitates is from 20 to 100 nm. In this way, the chemical composition is regulated and the precipitates are dispersed finely and uniformly, thereby enhancing heat spot resistance and antiwear performance.
