Abstract
The results of investigations of influence of low-temperature tempering on structural changes, physical and mechanical properties of HAZ metal and crack resistance of welded joints of high-strength medium-carbon alloy steel 30Kh2N2MF are given. It is shown that the use of a low-temperature tempering is absolutely necessary during welding of products by low-alloy materials, which significantly increases the crack resistance of welded joints. During welding of joints by high-alloy materials in the hardened HAZ metal a relatively more ductile and less stressed structure is formed, in which the maximum level of stresses is lower than that which can be achieved after thermal tempering of a welded joint with a low-alloy weld. Therefore, the level of crack resistance of welded joints is sufficiently high in any case and in this situation there is no need to use low-temperature tempering. This is an unnecessary technological operation that does not significantly affect the reliability during operation of products, but only makes their cost higher. 13 Ref., 4 Tables, 6 Figures.
