Abstract

In the work, we studied the special features of deformation and fracture of quenched steel 50 (0.51%) under static and cyclic tension after combined strain-heat nanostructuring treatment, which includes fictional treatment with subsequent tempering at 350°C. It is shown that the combined nanostructuring treatment of quenched steel 50 changes the character of plastic flow, making it more uniform, in the loaded material. Under static tension, this shows up as disappearance of the yield plateau early in the process, and under cyclic loading, as suppression of the deformation relief formed by shear and rotational deformation modes. Despite incipient cracks, the hardened surface layer thus escapes complete fracture throughout the fatigue loading and preserves its resistance to mechanical contact action.
