Abstract
Presented results are continuation of the complex investigations and refer to effect of low-temperature tempering, which is carried out in process of delayed cooling of products after welding, on mechanical properties and crack resistance of the joints of high-strength steel with 0.55–0.65 % carbon content. It is determined that tempering at 100 °C during four hours promotes rise of ductility property indices of quenched metal of heat-affected zone by 70 %, that of impact toughness 3 times, crack resistance 4.5 times, welded joint life duration 2 times. It is related with 1.5 times decrease of dislocation density in a volume of bainite and martensite laths as well as relaxation of stresses of II type. 14 Ref., 2 Tables, 7 Figures.
