Pole tekstowe: THE STRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF LOW CARBON LOW ALLOY STEEL SUBJECTED TO SEVERE PLASTIC DEFORMATION A. V. Korznikov, Institute for Metals Superplasticity Problems, RAS Khalturin 39, 450001 Ufa, Russia, Z. Pakiela, K.J. Kurzydlowski, Faculty of Material Sciences and Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology, Woloska 141, 02-507, Warsaw, Poland The steel (C-0.03wt.%, Mn-1.38%, V-0.25%) was deformed using a multi-high mill; the rolling was carried out by a quarto mill for 10 passes with a total reduction of 95% in the temperature range 950 -500C. Such a treatment allows to produce submicrocrystalline (SMC) structure with the mean grain size about 0.7 mm; this is due to fragmentation and recrystallization. The formation of SMC structure leads to the increase of the strength properties. The yield stress of the SMC steel is of two or three times higher than that after the hot deformation; s0,2 is 935 MPa, su is 945 MPa; the decrease of plasticity is virtually negligible. The toughness at low temperature (77K) increased more than ten times in comparison with that in a coarse grained state.
