This steel is made by adding a small amount of silicon or aluminum after refining and just before solidifying, to convert the oxygen dissolved in the steel into a stable oxide. It was formerly called tranquilizing steel. If oxygen remains in the steel, carbon monoxide is generated during solidification, causing it to boil and sparks to fly, but if deoxidizing agents such as silicon or aluminum are added, the boiling phenomenon is not observed and the steel solidifies quietly, hence the name. Since no carbon monoxide is generated during solidification, the solidified steel ingot does not contain bubbles and is relatively homogeneous. Traces of nitrogen dissolved in the steel form iron nitrides while the steel is left, which increases the yield point of the steel, but the nitrogen in killed steel does not combine with aluminum to form iron nitrides, so killed steel has a lower yield point than rimmed steel, which is not deoxidized with aluminum, and this makes it easier to press. The homogeneous and fine material makes it strong, and it maintains its toughness even at low temperatures, so it is also used for low-temperature applications.

精錬を終え、固める直前にケイ素やアルミニウムを少量添加し、鋼中に溶けている酸素を安定な酸化物に変えた鋼。古くは鎮静鋼と称した。鋼中に酸素が残存すると凝固の際に一酸化炭素が発生して沸騰状態となり、盛んに火花が散るが、ケイ素やアルミニウムなどの脱酸剤を添加すると沸騰現象がみられず、静かに凝固するのでこの名がある。凝固に際して一酸化炭素の発生がないので、固化した鋼塊は気泡を含まず、比較的均質である。鋼に溶けている微量の窒素は鋼を放置しておく間に窒化鉄を形成するなどして鋼の降伏点を高めるが、キルド鋼中の窒素はアルミニウムと結合して窒化鉄をつくらないので、アルミニウムで脱酸をしないリムド鋼と比較して、キルド鋼では降伏点が低く、このためにプレス成形が容易である。材質が均質微細であるために強靭(きょうじん)で、とくに低温でも靭性を保つので低温用にも用いられる。 [須藤 一] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
