Latest Patents

Kalinganavar is named on 1 patent, titled “Method for Producing Spheroidized or Non-Lamellar Microstructure Steels.” The disclosed method begins with casting a steel slab containing specified proportions of carbon, manganese, silicon, niobium, sulphur, phosphorus, and nitrogen, with iron making up the balance, optionally alongside incidental elements. The slab is then heated, hot rolled, cooled, and coiled, before being retained at ambient temperature. The process is designed to produce high-strength hot-rolled steel with a microstructure comprising 75–95% spheroid and 5–25% pearlite.
