Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A dual hardness steel article comprises a first air hardenable steel alloy having a first hardness metallurgically bonded to a second air hardenable steel alloy having a second hardness. A method of manufacturing a dual hard steel article comprises providing a first air hardenable steel alloy part comprising a first mating surface and having a first part hardness, and providing a second air hardenable steel alloy part comprising a second mating surface and having a second part hardness. The first air hardenable steel alloy part is metallurgically secured to the second air hardenable steel alloy part to form a metallurgically secured assembly, and the metallurgically secured assembly is hot rolled to provide a metallurgical bond between the first mating surface and the second mating surface.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A dual hardness steel article, comprising: a pre-formed first air hardenable steel alloy part having a first alloy hardness; a pre-formed second air hardenable steel alloy part having a second alloy hardness, wherein the first alloy hardness is greater than the second alloy hardness, and wherein at least one of the first air hardenable steel alloy part and the second air hardenable steel alloy part comprises a nickel-molybdenum-chromium steel alloy; and a metallur…
