Conclusions
-
1.
In the Md-Ms temperature range, Kh17N5M3, Kh15N4AM3, 08Kh15N5D2T, and 06Kh14N6D2MVT steels possess the effect of superplasticity.
-
2.
The temperature of superplasticity tsp, the same as the Md-Ms range, depends upon the austenitizing temperature.
-
3.
The structure formed at tsp does not have a significant influence on the strength and ductile properties of unnotched samples and the strength of samples with a notch tested with misalignment, but the fatigue life increases and the tendency toward corrosion cracking under stress decreases sharply.
