Microstructure and mechanical properties of forged and rolled rings made from X20Cr13 steel

[摘要] The article describes the results of microstructure and mechanical properties tests (according to PN-EN ISO 6892- 1:2016-09 and PN-EN ISO 6507-1:2007), which were obtained on specimens taken from a fragment of a ring rolled in the temperature range from 1220 °C to 950 °C, with dimensions ø965/803 x 164 mm, annealed and heat-treated: quenching at the temperature of 1 030 ± 10 °C in oil and tempering at a temperature of 650 °C. The starting material for rolling was a forging with an opening of ø560/230 x 180 mm. Comparative hardness tests were also performed on specimens taken from the ring after rolling and softening annealing. The R, Rp0.2 and A indices of the ring fragment after heat treatment, as assumed, were respectively: 942 MPa, 763 MPa and 17 %.
