Conclusions
-
1.
The susceptibility to brittle fracture of Kh8 steel pipe at room temperature depends on the heat treatment conditions of the pipe blanks.
-
2.
The resistance to brittle fracture at room temperature is highest after normalization (quenching) and high-temperature tempering, followed by rapid cooling. The cold brittleness threshold is low, the work of crack propagation is high, and the fracture is completely ductile.
