Abstract
Five carbon steels, AISI 1008, 1020, 1035, renitrogenized 1010 and 1522, were dynamically strain aged in the temperature range 100 to 600°C (373 to 873 K), with strains from 3 to 9 pct and strain rates from 2 × 10-4 to 2 × 10-2/s. Following this, changes in tensile, notch impact and fatigue properties were determined. The data obtained indicate that for a commercial combined straightening and strengthening operation on the cooling beds of a bar mill, the temperature during straining should be between 200 and 400° C, the strain should be less than 5 pct and the strain rate is unimportant, up to at least 10-1/s. After such treatment the tensile properties will be: Open image in new window
