Initial blank for the production of calibrated rolled stock is hot-rolled steel, ductility of which is largely determined by the structure and quality of the rolled stock surface. Hot-rolled steel should have a high degree of surface cleanliness and defect-free cross-section. In this paper, using the example of hot-rolled steel 40X, it is shown that the structural condition and quality of the rolled stock surface largely determine the further quality of calibrated rolled stock for automobile long length bolt products made from it. In this case, the mechanical characteristics, which are the most widely used indicators of the steel quality, are largely determined by plastic and heat treatment, which change the structure at the macro- and microscopic level.
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.
