Tensile Fracture of Austenitic Corrosion-Resistant Steels with an Overequilibrium Nitrogen Content and Various Vanadium Contents
2021
The crack growth characteristics are investigated in situ in a scanning electron microscope column during the tension of nonmagnetic 04Kh18AG20 steel specimens with a overequilibrium nitrogen content (0.98 wt % N) and various vanadium contents. The character of crack nucleation and propagation in steel after quenching from 1200°С and after subsequent aging at 650°С for 5 h is shown to be the same. The critical shear crack size at the maximum load is 300 μm in vanadium-free 04Kh18AG20 steel and 120 μm in vanadium-bearing 04Kh18AG20F steel. Corrosion-resistant nickel and vanadium-free austenitic 04Kh18AG20 steel (0.98 wt % N) after quenching from 1200°C is recommended for heavy-duty nonmagnetic structures.
