BASIC MATERIALS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF CROSS-BORDERS, TRAIN VESSELS, GARDENS AND TRAIN AND STEEL PREPARATIONS

摘要

Base material (I) consists of a carbon-deficient base steel contg. 0.1-0.2% C. The base sheet is carburised so that a carburised region is present from its outer wall to the inner core, with the C content decreasing from the outer edge of the outer wall to the non-carbonised core. (I) contains 0.6-1.1% C in the outer-wall regions, and has a sandwich structure consisting of a carburised outer wall, a non-carburised inner core and a further outer wall of base steel. The depth of the carburised region is selected so that after hardening and annealing 1/3 of the thickness of the base steel remains soft and 2/3 hard, pref. 50% hard and 50% soft. A C gradient and a hardness gradient are formed on the base steel. The outer wall has a hardness of 58 RC and the non-carburised core region 32 RC. The base steel is (partially) carburised on both sides. The physical properties are graduated by varying the C content.
