Conclusion
-
1.
A new precipitation-hardening spring alloy, 40NKKhTYuMD, has high ductility after quenching, which makes it possible to manufacture elastic elements of complex shape from it.
High strength and elastic characteristics are produced by quenching and aging.
-
2.
Alloy 40 NKKhTYuMD has high corrosion resistance in sulfuric acid of different concentrations at elevated temperatures and is classified as resistant.
-
3.
The alloy is hardened due to decomposition of the supersaturated solid solution with precipitation of finely dispersed phase of the Ni3(Ti, Al) type.
-
4.
Tests of parts made of alloy 40NKKhTYuMD showed that it can be used for elastic sensing elements in instruments.
