Abstract: A process for enhancing precipitation strengthening in steel and for making a high-strength micro-alloy steel, and a steel made from the process. The process includes the step of deforming the steel containing a suitable precipitate strengthening substance, at a temperature at which the microstructure of the steel is essentially stable and at which those precipitation strengthening particles that form are of a desirable particle size for precipitation strengthening. Deforming the steel introduces dislocations in the crystal structure of the steel, which increases the kinetics of precipitation by increasing the number of precipitation nucleation sites and accelerating the rate of diffusion of the precipitate material. The steel may be deformed by bending or rolling the steel. Preferably the process also includes the step of cooling the steel at a rapid rate so as to minimize the formation of precipitate particles of a larger-than-desired size.

One grade of this steel exhibiting a 42 KSI minimum yield strength has from about 0.15 to about 0.27 percent carbon and from 0 to about 0.04 percent vanadium. Another grade exhibiting a 50 KSI minimum yield strength has from about 0.05 to about 0.27 percent carbon and at least about 0.02 percent vanadium. The balance of each steel is iron and other elements. Copper may optionally be provided for strength and corrosion resistance. The steel is prepared by continuous casting and hot rolling, without any quenching and tempering required to achieve the desired properties.

Abstract: The present invention provides corrosion resistance clad steels comprising a steel core and a cladding of a corrosion resistance metallic material tightly covering the circumference of the core, the interface between the core and cladding being metallurgically bonded. As the core materials, steel bars for concrete reinforcement including PC steel bars; or materials for sections (e.g., angles or channels) may be appropriately selected depending on the intended use. The foregoing steel materials is produced by a method comprising the steps of arranging the corrosion resistance metallic cladding member over the entire surface of the circumference of the steel core member and hot rolling to form an intimate metallurgical bonding at the interface between both members, thereby forming the foregoing clad steel material. The material may be formed into deformed steel bars.
