Effect of over Tempering at UHSLA Steel ARMOX 500

Article Preview

Abstract:

ARMOX steels are armored steels used for protect devices and facilities against blasts and explosions. Due to this purpose the ARMOX 500 steel has excellent mechanical properties as are high hardness, tensile strength and good toughness. These properties result from specific production process finished with rolling ant then quenching and tempering. The producer of ARMOX steels recommend their secondary processing (cutting, welding, shaping) at temperatures lower than 200°C due to over tempering and degradation of mechanical properties in heat affected areas. The paper describes the mechanism and reason of this degradation including the simulation of cooling process with ARMOX 500 steel.
