Abstract

In the work we studied the substructure of 30KhGSA steel after rolling. A relation has been established between the macrofracture of the specimen and its dislocation substructure. The formation and completion of a fragmented substructure with precipitation of carbides at the junctions of fragments during rolling indicate that the lifetime is close to exhaustion. Annealing that partially or completely destroys the fragmented substructure causes microcracks to collapse and heal, eliminates the microcrack nucleation sites, eliminates trajectories of facilitated microcrack growth, which follow subboundaries, and restores the plasticity of the steel.
