Conclusions

  1. 1.

    To improve the fracture toughness it is recommended that the quenching temperature of steel 20Kh13 be lowered from 1000–1050 to 950–975°.

  2. 2.

    Parts of steel 20Kh13 should not be tempered at 600–650° in order to obtain the necessary structural strength, since the percentage of brittle components in the fracture is highest at this tempering temperature.

  3. 3.

    Lowering the requirements for the strength properties of quenched and tempered steel 20Kh13 to σ0.2 ⩾ 55 kgf/mm2 and σb ⩾ 75 kgf/mm2 makes it possible to raise the tempering temperature to 650–700° and ensure higher fracture toughness (a 1 ⩾ 8 kgf−m/cm2) and reliability of machine parts.
