Abstract: A method of producing a wear and rolling contact fatigue resistant bainitic steel product whose microstructure is essentially carbide-free. The method comprises the steps of hot rolling a steel whose composition by weight includes from 0.05 to 0.50% carbon, from 1.00 to 3.00% silicon and/or aluminum, from 0.50 to 2.50% manganese, and from 0.25 to 2.50% chromium, balance iron and incidental impurities, and continuously cooling the steel from its rolling temperature naturally in air or by accelerated cooling.

Abstract: A rail for use in a railway which has in section, a head having a traffic carrying surface and a foot, wherein the head comprising a traffic carrying surface is composed of low carbon martensite.

Abstract: This invention relates to manganese steels, in particular the invention relates to high strength iron-manganese based maraging-type steel combining high strength and toughness. Specifically, a manganese steel in accordance with the invention contains, apart from impurities, 11.8-13.5% by weight manganese, 2.0-6.0% by weight molybdenum, 0.002-0.2% by weight carbon, and optionally one or more of silicon (up to 0.4% by weight), sulphur (up to 0.02% by weight), and phosphorus (up to 0.03% by weight), and balance iron.
