20140079958 | Metallurgically Bonded Stainless Steel - A steel wire having a stainless steel exterior; the steel wire includes a core region that comprises at least 55 wt. % iron which is metallurgically bonded to a stainless steel coating that consists of a stainless steel region and a bonding region. The stainless steel region can have a thickness of about 1 μm to about 250 μm, and a stainless steel composition that is approximately consistent across the thickness of the stainless steel region. The stainless steel composition includes an admixture of iron and about 10 wt. % to about 30 wt. % chromium. The bonding region is positioned between the stainless steel region and the core region, has a thickness that is greater than 1 μm and less than the thickness of the stainless steel region, and has a bonding composition. The bonding composition includes an admixture of iron and chromium, with a chromium concentration proximal to the stainless steel region that is approximately equal to the chromium concentration of the stainless steel region and has a chromium concentration proximal to the core region that has less than about 5 wt. % chromium. | 03-20-2014 |
20140050937 | Sponge-Iron Alloying - A steel manufacturing process can include forming an iron oxide layer on a hot band during hot rolling; reducing the iron oxide layer on the hot band to form a sponge iron layer that includes pores; the sponge-iron layer having a thickness in a range of about 0.05 μm to about 1000 μm, about 0.1 μm to about 100 μm, or about 5 μm to about 25 μm; and depositing an alloying element into the pores of the sponge iron layer to form an impregnated sponge-iron layer. The process can further include annealing the impregnated sponge-iron layer to produce an iron alloy layer carried by the substrate. | 02-20-2014 |

20130309410 | Late-Stage Customization of Steel - A metal customization process that provides an alloy metal product which meets predefined product specifications which are typically based on whole thickness materials. The metal customization process can be used with any commercially available substrates (e.g., aluminum bar, aluminum coil, steel bar, steel coil, and alloys thereof) but, preferably, the substrate is made of steel (e.g., carbon steel, low carbon steel or steel alloys). This process can include receiving a product specification that can include performance or composition criteria; converting the product specification to a surface specification and a core specification; then treating a substrate with a deposition composition, for example, at a temperature below an annealing temperature, thereby depositing at least one alloying element onto the substrate to form a coating composition that is carried by the substrate; and then annealing the coated substrate to provide a product that meets the product specification. | 11-21-2013 |
