Title:
INVAR ALLOY WIRE EXCELLENT IN STRENGTH AND TURNING CHARACTERISTICS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/025239
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An invar alloy wire, characterized in that it has a chemical composition in wt %: C: 0.20 to 0.40, Si: ≤ 0.8 %, Mn: ≤ 1.0 %, P: ≤ 0.050 %, S: ≤ 0.015 %, Cu: ≤ 1.0 %, Ni: 35 to 40 %, Cr: ≤ 0.5 %, Mo: 1.5 to 6.0 %, V: 0.05 to 1.0 %, O: ≤ 0.15 %, N: ≤ 0.03 %, balance: Fe and inevitable impurities, with the proviso that Mo&sol V ≥ 1.0 and (0.3Mo &plus V) ≥ 4C, and exhibits average coefficients of linear thermal expansion in the ranges of 20 to 230&ring C and 230 to 290&ring C of 3.7 X 10−6 or less and 10.8 X 10−6 or less, respectively. The invar alloy wire is improved in the combination of low thermal expansion characteristics, strength and turning characteristics, which results in the reduction of the cost required for the construction of steel towers when it is used for a power transmission line.
