Abstract
Coercimetric testing revealed essential differences in metal structure in the subsurface layer of experimental caterpillar tracks. Obtained experimental results of 4-point bend testing of experimental caterpillar tracks from steels which somewhat differ by their chemical composition, confirmed the possibility of application of nondestructive coercimetric testing for assessment of the initial structural state and level of loading of the metal, which characterizes the degree of sustained damage after loading. Metal of a sound track from steel of 110G13L type in the initial condition should have negative values of the coercive force that is ensured by its optimal structural state. This circumstance can provide substantiation for introducing coercimetric testing for express-evaluation of the quality of castings and their heat treatment. 7 Ref., 4 Tabl., 10 Fig.
