Abstract

An increase in the strength of the existing high-strength medium-carbon steels is accompanied by a decrease in their ductility and plasticity, which reduces the reliability of structures from these materials and limits the possibility of decreasing the mass of aircraft parts and raising their efficiency. A way to improve the ductility parameters of steels consists of decreasing the content of impurities in them. In order to correctly ascertain the admissible content of impurities and estimate their effect on the properties of steels, we should study the mechanism of the influence of impurities on the destruction processes in high-strength medium-carbon steels. It is a common practice to associate the effect of impurities with the reversible temper brittleness.
