The paper is devoted to the results of a study of the effect of decarburization of the surface on the mechanical properties and the susceptibility of sheet steel 38Kh5MSFA to brittle fracture. The optimum thickness of the decarburized layer at which the resistance of steel 38Kh5MSFA to brittle fracture is increased without considerable softening is determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
