Laws of substructural and phase transformations in the plastic deformation of martensitic steel

Substructural and phase transformations in the course of plastic deformation in tempered 34KhN3MFA steel are considered. A relation is established between the type of substructure and the phase state of carbon. A direct relation is established between the carbon content in the solid solution and the crystal-lattice distortion. The carbon concentration at dislocations and fragment boundaries is determined.Tomsk State Architectural and Building Academy.
