Dependence of the deformability of high chromium steel Kh17 on texture

Conclusions

• 1. The preferential texture of steel affects the value of the plastic anisotropy of steel Kh17 and also its ability to be elongated. The texture of a “cube on an angle” {111} is the most conducive for elongating sheet steel Kh17.

• 2. With a definite degree of compression on cold rolling, the steels can obtain the necessary crystalline orientation, and, at the same time, the necessary plastic anisotropy.

• 3. The mechanical properties of steel Kh17 alone cannot characterize its ability to be elongated, since steel with the worse characteristics of plasticity, but with a large anisotropy of plasticity, is most susceptible to elongation.

• 4. The largest anisotropies of plasticity and the best characteristics on elongating steel Kh17 are found at degrees of deformation of 70%.
