ABSTRACT:
A mining and construction bit body is composed of a Mn-B steel alloy composition. The alloy content of the composition in percents by weight includes: carbon, 0.33-0.38; manganese, 1.10-1.35; boron, 0.0005 minimum; silicon 0.15-0.30; sulfur, 0.045 maximum; and phosphorus, 0.035 maximum. The composition has a minimum hardenability of 47 Rockwell C at the Jominy 6/16 position and a maximum as-rolled hardness of 22 Rockwell C such that without anneal the composition meets hardenability and machinability requirements that make it useful for fabricating mining and construction bit bodies of all sizes. The mining and construction bit body is made by a process which includes the steps of, first, providing a rod in an as-rolled condition and being composed of the Mn-B steel alloy composition having the above-defined alloy content, then, machining the rod in its as-rolled condition without an anneal to the desired size and shape of the bit body, and, finally, heat treating the bit body to obtain the desired mechanical properties of hardness and toughness. The heat treating step includes heating the bit body to a temperature above 1550 degrees F., subjecting the bit body to quenching at a severity of approximately 0.7 H value to cool and harden it, and tempering it to improve its toughness. The quenching can occur in one of of oil, water or a polymer-water mixture.
