Conclusions

  1. 1.

    High-temperature plastic deformation inhibits the intermediate transformation in steels 5 KhNV, 4Kh5MFS, 4Kh4M2VFS, and 3Kh2V8F, which leads to an increase of the hardenability.

  2. 2.

    The increase in strength due to thermomechanical treatment is retained in tempering only for steels that undergo precipitation hardening.

  3. 3.

    The strength characteristics of these steels improve substantially at room and elevated temperatures after deformation at a temperature below Ac3. HTTMT reduces the tendency to brittle fracture of steels 4Kh5MFS and 4Kh4M2VFS only with deformation at 1000°C.
