Description
Summary:The crack resistance of the 38CrNi3MoV (34NiCrMoV14—5. 35NiCrMoV12—5) tempered steel (at various tempering temperatures) has been estimated based on a comprehensive study of the steel fractures, microstructure, physical, and mechanical properties. Stress-intensity factor K 1C at the apex of the crack is growing continuously with an increase in the tempering temperature from 200 to 620°C. This indicates that K 1C is a structural-sensitive parameter, which depends on the steel microstructure and submicrostructure, the fracture mechanism that occurs under these structural conditions, the internal stress level, and the existence of microdefects and microcracks. The linear correlation dependence is found between the coefficient K 1C and the transverse velocity V transv . The obtained results reveal that the acoustic method can be used to quickly and efficiently estimate the crack resistance of the thermostrengthened steel without the recourse to labor-consuming mechanical tests and computations of the K 1C value.
