For high-strength structural steels, the problem of grinding grain and increasing strength is solved by the use of highly efficient technologies, the development of new steel compositions and the development of rational thermomechanical processing. Goal. The aim of the work is to transform the structure, study the methods of grain grinding and increase the strength properties of structural steels 09Г2, 09Г2С as a result of modification by nanodisperse compositions, heat treatment and intense plastic deformation. Methodology. The research material was structural low-carbon steels 09G2, 09G2S. The process of modifying the steel parameters of the geometric shape of the melts was carried out by smelting steels 09G2 and 09G2C in an induction furnace. The modified workpieces were subjected to intensive plastic deformation and heat-treating treatment according to the mode: heating temperature 1050 °C, exposure 5 min; cooled medium: water and 20 % solution of NaCl in water. Then – a rest at temperatures of 500 °C; 600 °C, exposure time – 30 minutes. Metallographic studies of the structure of steels before and after modification and mechanical testing of standard samples were performed. Results. The study of the structure grains of steels 09Г2 and 09Г2С in the initial state showed the presence of large grains up to 30 μm, reduced microhardness and yield strength. Originality. The substantiation of the choice of type and fraction of nanodisperse modifier was carried out. The use of plasma-chemical synthesis to obtain nanopowders based on titanium was substantiated. Nanopowders of titanium carbonitride Ti (CN) fraction 50 ... 100 nm were obtained by the method of plasma chemical synthesis. Practical value. The following methods were proposed for grinding grain and increasing the strength properties of steels: nanomodification, intensive plastic deformation in combination with heat-strengthening treatment.
