Good Improvement

4340 Ni-Cr-Mo alloy steel is widely used due to its good combination of strength and toughness. The mechanical property of 4340 steel can be improved by various thermal treatments. The influence of thermomechanical treatment (TMT) has been studied in a low carbon Ni-Cr-Mo steel having chemical composition closed to 4340 steel. TMT of 4340 steel is rarely examined up to now. In this study we obtain good improvement on the mechanical property of 4340 steel by TMT. The mechanism is explained in terms of TEM microstructures4340 (0.39C-1.81Ni-0.93Cr-0.26Mo) steel was austenitized at 950°C for 30 minutes. The TMTed specimen (T) was obtained by forging the specimen continuously as the temperature of the specimen was decreasing from 950°C to 600°C followed by oil quenching to room temperature. The thickness reduction ratio by forging is 40%. The conventional specimen (C) was obtained by quenching the specimen directly into room temperature oil after austenitized at 950°C for 30 minutes. All quenched specimens (T and C) were then tempered at 450, 500, 550, 600 or 650°C for four hours respectively.

Introduction. The use of different mathematical approaches to assessing and forecasting the quality characteristics of materials for different purposes is always relevant. The urgency of solving problems and problems of modern materials science with the use of methods of mathematical modeling allows to optimize technological processes of production, to determine in a short period of time the set parameters with minimal time and material costs. In the work using the method of regression analysis, the strength criteria of low-carbon low-alloy steel depending on the characteristics of the structure were evaluated. Materials and methods. Samples of Ст3пс steel grade made of a circle with a diameter of 24 mm were selected as the material for the study. The structure and mechanical properties were investigated at three reference points: at a distance of 0 mm from the center of the sample, 6 mm from the center of the sample and 12 mm from the center of the sample. The steel was investigated in the state of factory delivery, and after two modes of heat treatment to obtain ferritic-perlite and bainite structure. The following properties were determined: microhardness, tensile strength and yield strength, hardness and toughness at room temperature. The results of the experiment. Models for estimating mechanical properties were obtained using regression analysis. Models describing the relationship between the microhardness of pearlite and its area (R2 = 0.8366) in the state of factory delivery have a relatively high correlation coefficient; the score and the ultimate strength (R2 = 1.0) and yield strength (R2 = 0.8669) of steel after cooling in an oil medium; hardness and area of pearlite after hardening steel in the pearlite region (R2 = 0.7215). Conclusions. The practical significance of the work performed is the ability to perform a rapid analysis of the properties of rolled metal from steel Ст3пс based on determining the area of the structural elements and their scoring. However, it should be noted that the existing discrepancy between the results of the experiment and the forecast using the obtained models may be due to the influence of other factors. Such factors include the influence of chemical composition, incompleteness of formal axiomatics, which occurs when estimating the geometry of complex structural elements.
