Abstract
A fully killed steel has a composition of from about 0.005 to about 0.020 percent titanium and from about 0.004 to about 0.015 percent nitrogen, with the mole ratio of titanium to nitrogen being less than about 3.42. One grad e of this steel exhibiting a 42 KSI minimum yield strength has from about 0.05 to about 0.10 percent or from about 0.15 to about 0.27 percent carbon, and no more than about 0.02 percent vanadium. Another grade exhibiting a 50 KSI minimum yield strength has from about 0.15 to about 0.27 percent carbon and from about 0.02 to about 0.04 percent vanadium. The balance of each steel is iron and other elements. Copper may optionally be provided for strength and corrosion resistance. The steel is prepared by continuous casting and hot rolling, without any quenching and tempering required to achieve the desired properties.
