Experimental Analysis of Steel Plasticity Parameters during Quenching

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of longitudinal investigations of transformation plasticity, kinetic plasticity, elastic-plastic strain and auto deformation of different grades of steel during quenching. A special device was used to evaluate transformation plasticity and determine the maximum normal bending stress, modulus of transformation plasticity for high alloyed and high corrosion resistance steel. Other targets of experiments were to determine relations between magnitude of normal bending stresses and plastic deformation of test pieces, to examine influence of hardening temperature on the transformation plasticity, to calculate modulus of transformation plasticity Etp. As a complimentary survey we study the mechanical behaviour of high chromium and medium chromium steels during quenching. Understanding phenomenon of steel behaviour during quenching it is possible to renovate and restore the details and components deformed during exploitation, for production of steels with high formability, and to predict properties of steel.
