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