Conclusions
-
1.
After heat treatment of 37KhN3 and 40Kh1NVA steel specimens, a stable tensile strength of 245–255 kg/ mm2, with a reduction in area of 25 to 30% is obtained.
-
2.
The good mechanical properties of heat-treated specimens are also accounted for by high dispersion and some orientation of structural elements.
-
3.
A heat treatment at which deformation occurs above c3 is better since it ensures an optimal combination of strength and plasticity.
-
4.
The use of a magnetic field during the transformation of austenite to martensite produces homogenous mechanical properties and slightly improves strength characteristics.
