Abstract
A new method for combined thermo-mechanical treatment of steel 0.4 % C, 1.5 % Cr, 1.5 % Ni, 0.5 % Mo is developed. Thermo-mechanical processing includes hot forging and rapid cooling to the temperature range between the beginning and end of martensitic transformation. The final stage of heat treatment is heating up to the temperature of bainite transformation in which the remaining austenite transforms into a bainite structure and previously formed martensite tempers. In comparison with well known techniques of thermal treatment, the developed thermo-mechanical treatment increases the impact toughness of the steel by 2 times and fatigue crack resistance by 6 times (with equal values of strength parameters). The technological process of high-temperature thermo-mechanical treatment is recommended for treatment of high-strength blank forging.
