Latest Patents

Xiang’s patent, “Seawater Corrosion-Resistant Marine Engineering Steel and Preparation Method Thereof,” describes a steel composition and a method for preparing it. The composition contains carbon, silicon, chromium, niobium, zirconium, and rare-earth elements, with iron and unavoidable impurities making up the balance. It specifies low carbon and silicon levels, medium chromium content, and defined proportions of zirconium and rare-earth elements.

The design avoids costly corrosion-resistant metals such as nickel and copper. It also replaces conventional aluminum deoxidation with silicon deoxidation assisted by zirconium and rare-earth elements. This approach is intended to produce fine, evenly dispersed composite oxysulfides in the steel.
