Abstract

The publication is composed of three parts. The first describes characteristics that are used in nondestructive tests of ferromagnetic components and assemblies, and the classification of these characteristics with structure- and phase-sensitive ones. Physical processes during quenching and tempering of carbon and low-alloyed steels are discussed, alongside their effect on the coercive force, saturation magnetization, electric resistivity, and hardness of the 30Kh3MFA, 40KhFA, and ShKh15 steels. These parameters are given as functions of the heating temperature in the processes of quenching and tempering of these steels.
