On possible reasons for defects in large blanks of low-carbon manganese steel at "YURMASH"

Abstract

Mechanical properties and microstructures of forged large blanks of low-carbon steel without necessary incoming ultrasound test have been studied. The examination was performed to find out the reasons for product defects. Abnormalities in structure and disagreement of metal plasticity with standard requirements are revealed. On the basis of the results obtained it is assumed that the reasons for the defects could be deviations from standard chemical composition and irregularities in hot forging.
