MARTENSITIC ALLOY COMPONENT AND PROCESS OF FORMING A MARTENSITIC ALLOY COMPONENT

Abstract:

A martensitic alloy component includes by weight, 0.25% to 0.31% carbon (C), 2.1% to 3.0% manganese (Mn), 0.22% to 0.28% silicon (Si), 2.0% to 2.2% chromium (Cr), 0.45% to 0.55% molybdenum (Mo), 0.08% to 0.12% vanadium (V), and the balance is iron (Fe) and incidental impurities. The manganese-chromium martensitic alloy component has a hardenability corresponding to an ideal diameter of about 15 inches to about 30 inches or more.
