Description
Summary:The use of nitrogen in amounts not exceeding the solubility limit in the alpha -solid solution for alloying chromium corrosion-resistant steels of the ferritic class provides steels with the structure of nitrogen martensite characterized by high mechanical properties. Steel 0Kh16AN4B belongs to this class and can contain up to 15% N when melted in open electric furnaces. Steels of the considered type possess a combination of high mechanical properties and process ductility suitable for fabricating parts of various shapes and sizes for various fields of engineering. The present work is devoted to the effect of rolling plastic deformation of steel 0Kh16AN4B and subsequent heat treatment on its structure, strength, and ductility.
