Features of Dynamic Strain Aging of Low-Carbon Steels during Severe Plastic Deformation Processing
The paper considers the features of the manifestation of dynamic strain aging (DSA) effect during severe plastic deformation processing via equal-channel angular pressing of low-carbon steel 10 and during the deformation processing via rolling of steel 20Kh. The deformation mechanisms under different regimes of deformation processing are analyzed. The temperature ranges for the manifestation of the DSA effect during the deformation by rolling of steel 20Kh and by equal-channel angular pressing of steel 10 are established. It is demonstrated that the deformation of low-carbon steels in the temperature range of DSA leads to further structure refinement and, as a consequence, to the enhancement in strength properties.
