The results of the study on the effects of tempering temperature on 38KhN3MFA-Sh steel static strength and crack resistance are given. The fractured surface texture has been studied after various heat treatment modes using electron-fractography analysis. Relationships between the fracture properties and the critical stress intensity factor have been established. The effect of tempering temperature on the velocities of ultrasonic bulk waves has been investigated. A linear relationship has been found between the velocity of elastic waves and the critical stress intensity factor of 38KhN3MFA-Sh steel. The dependence discovered allows us to estimate the changes in crack resistance of steel using a non-destructive test method with variations in tempering temperature. The method of electron fractography has been used to analyze specimen fractures having a crack in structural high-quality 38KhN3MFA-Sh steel. Investigations of the fractured surface texture subjected to various heat treatment modes have shown that the microrelief is represented by flattened cone-shape pits. An increase in tempering temperature is accompanied by an increase in the diameter of flattened cone pits on the fractured surface. A quadratic dependence has been established between the crack resistance parameter and the diameter of the pits. It is shown that the contribution of ferrite matrix structural condition to crack resistance value is much more significant than the contribution of isolated carbides. The velocities of elastic waves in steel have been measured; their values increase with the growth of tempering temperature. The characteristics of strength and crack resistance of structural steel exposed to hightemperature tempering have been predicted based on the values of transverse wave velocities. Deviation of the predicted values of crack resistance K1С and ultimate strength σb from the experimental values does not exceed 5.4% and 12.6%, respectively.

The goal of the study is to reveal the impact of change in the structural state of steel 07Kh3GNMYuA after heat treatment on the values of the critical stress intensity coefficient (K1c) obtained at a temperature of 50°C and on the velocity of ultrasound wave propagation, as well as to determine a correlation between them for rapid assessment of the crack resistance using acoustic characteristics. The mechanical characteristics of the material and the critical stress intensity coefficient K1c were obtained on the test machine «Inspekt 100 Table». The tangent method is used for determination of K1c. Three samples per K1c value were used in the experiment for a three-point bending scheme at the operating temperature T = –50°C. Acoustic parameters were measured using the echo-pulse method. The results of ultrasonic scanning of heat-strengthened samples made of steel 07Kh3GNMYuA demonstrated the possibility of non-destructive quantitative evaluation of the critical stress intensity coefficient. New data on the mechanical properties of steel 07Kh3GNMYuA and on the correlation between the velocity of longitudinal elastic waves and the values of the critical stress intensity coefficient of structures were obtained. Deviation of the calculated values of K1c obtained using acoustic measurements from the experimental values does not exceed 10%. The proposed model, which explains change in the acoustic characteristics of steel 07Kh3GNMYuA on the basis of phase changes occurring in the steel structure upon tempering, provides conducting of similar studies for other modes of heat treatment and other steel grades. The method is a low labor- and time-consuming procedure for determination of the mechanical characteristics of the products made of steel 07Kh3GNMYuA, since it does not require the manufacturing of samples and their testing. The developed procedure can be proposed for manufacturing application, as the main or additional method for evaluation of the mechanical parameters of materials after various modes of heat treatment.
The microstructure-sensitive acoustic parameters (MSA parameters) of metal of the object under control are determined using measurements of the propagation time of bulk elastic waves of the ultrasonic range by the echo-pulse method. The structural features of the metal are thus evaluated not only in the surface layer, but also throughout the entire volume. We present the results of practical application of the MSA-parameters to estimation of the deviation of the velocity ratios of longitudinal and shear waves relative to the «basic» state with known strength characteristics. A correlation of the MSA-parameters with variations in the elastic moduli of metals attributed to modification of their microstructure is discussed. The generalized values of the ratios of wave velocities for steels of the same group are used in calculations to characterize the «base» state. It is shown that when calculating the MSA-parameters for a certain kind of construction steel, it is possible to use the averaged ratios of the velocities measured for quasi-isotropic reference samples made of the same type of steel. The generalized baseline ratios of the longitudinal and shear wave velocities are determined for the samples made of carbon steel, low-alloy, and alloyed steels. We present experimental evidence of using MSA-parameters to detect microstructural changes in metal samples and accompanying changes in their strength characteristics that occur during changes in modes and conditions of welding and heat treatment. A comparative analysis of the MSA parameters with the values of the mechanical properties and parameters of the crack resistance of the metal is carried out. It was shown that the accuracy of measuring the MCA parameters provided by modern hardware significantly exceeds changes in them occurred under significant deviations of the strength characteristics. The experimental results obtained clearly indicate that the MSA-parameters can be successfully used to improve the methods of quantitative non-destructive assessment of the features of metal microstructures
