The influence of the heating rate of a typical case hardening steel 15KHGN2TA and 25KHGT on the growth of austenitic grain during long-term isothermal exposures at the high-temperature chemical-heat treatment was studied. It is shown that the change in the rate of heating case hardening steels in the temperature interval a®g transformations during chemical-thermal treatment has a significant impact on the process of growth of austenitic grains in them.Regression equations describing the dependence of the average size of austenitic grain on the heating rate, pre-annealing temperature and cementation temperature are obtained, which allow selecting the cementation modes of various steels. A phenomenological model describing the mechanism of formation and growth of austenitic grains in steels under heating at different speeds is developed.It is concluded that the slow heating of steels in the interval of phase a®g transformation contributes to the formation of a complex of small austenite grains separated by high angle boundaries with adsorbed on them by impurity atoms, which ensures higher resistance grain structure to coalescence and reduce the rate of migration of the boundaries during prolonged hightemperature austenization.

Evaluation of applicability of 20MnCrS5 steel for gears of transmissions of mobile machines, manufactured according to European standard EN 10084 was carried out. Experimental and virtual simulation of hardenability of the steel according to the updated method was realized. The assessment of the applicability of 20MnCrS5 case-hardening steel for gears of the domestic mobile machines was made by the criterion of obtaining the cross section of the tooth structures with a hardness 32 HRC for core, 50 HRC for semi-conversion zone, 61–63 HRC for the diffusion layer excluding other physical and mechanical properties of steel.It is established that at the content of alloying elements close to the maximum limit, the use of this steel is possible for gears with a module up to 10 mm.

The role of alloying elements such as Cr, Mo and Mn on low-alloy 8620 steel during hot forging operations is not yet clear, as, during deformation in the 1000~1100 °C temperature range, the austenite grain size remains small, ensuring the capacity of the forged part to be subsequently modified by surface hardening procedures. This work analyzed a deformed bar considering hardness at different geometry zones, along with SEM and TEM microstructures of previous austenite grains and lamellar martensite spacing. Moreover, Thermocalc simulations of M7C3, M23C6 and MnS precipitation were combined with Design of Experiments (DOE) in order to detect the sensitivity and significant variables. The values of the alloying elements’ percentages were drastically modified, as nominal values did not produce precipitation, and segregation at the austenite matrix may have been responsible for short-term, nanometric precipitates producing grain growth inhibition.
