The relatiol ship between the impact strength and the duration of th6 tempering at 5WOC of specimens quenched from 90000, 10000C, and 11500C, is graphed in Fig 6. The curves on Fig 7 show the temperature dependence of S of (1) an untreated specimen, and (2) a specimen quenched from 1000OG tempered for 2 hours and cooled in water. Fig 8 shows the dependence of the height of the peak*on the duration of the tempering treatment carried out at 3000C, 3500C2 40000 and 450oC. Finally, t~e dependence of ln 11/&,,) (where 6 is the height of the peak of untreated specimeng and the height of the peak after tempering) on the duration of the tempering treatment at 300, 3507 400 and 4500C, is ,&raphed in Fig 9. It can be seen tha' all the curves of the logarithmic decrement plotted against temperature for specimens quenched from various temperatures (Fig 5), exhibit a peak at approximately 3500C. Since the Card 4/7 mechanism causing the 3POC peak was completed at tempera- tures lower than 5400C, it is concluded that this peak -is SOV/24-58-6-1+/35 Elastic Vibrations Measurements as a Method of Investigating the Thermally Induced Changes of Properties of Metals and Alloys not associated with the process leading to temper emb-Zitt- lement. Analysis of the experimental results indicates that the height of the peak was related to the time and temperature of the tempering treatment. An expressi3n (Eq 5) was derived for the maximum rate of coalescence of the precipitated carbidess Vmax = 100(n(T), %/sec. The graph of the function?, (T) shoiH on Fid 10 is chara.-ter- ised by two values of temperat-are T: T = To at which -.,max = 0, and T = 9 at whic:i vmax approaches infinity. On the basis of the results of the present investigation ths following hypothesis was postulateds In the initial stages of tempering the martensite formed during quenching is partially decomposedg thus relieving the internal stresses and increasing slightly the impact strength. Lt higher temperature, the deccmposition of martensite is intan- sified and the precipitated carbides are enriched in the atoms of the alloying elements. This results in a Card 5/7 weakening of the bond between the adjacent carbide particles, and leads -to the pronounced drop in the impact SOV/24-58-6-V35 Elastic Vibrations Measurements as a Method of Investigating the Thermally Induced Changes of Properties of Metals and Alloys strength which is typical of the first type of temper brittleness, The most complete decomposition of marten- site and consequent segregation of carbides takes place at temperatures higher than To. During this stage, a strengthening of the bond between the discrete metal phase occurs which results in an increase of the impact strength. At temperatures above ~1 the strength-of the bond between the discrete particles within the grains continues to increase, which creates conditions favourable for further coalescence of the alloying elements and their migration to the grain boundaries. The latter process may be responsible for the second type of temper brittleness encountered in the 450 to 5500G range. At still higher 6emperatures, the widening range of the solid solubility of the alloying elements in c:A. iron permits dissolution of these segregated impurities into the grain boundary Card 6/7 regions; material quenched from such temperatures is ductile because the impurities are held in the solid SOV/21+-58-6-1+/35 Elastic Vibrations Measurements as a Method of Investigating the Thermally Induced Changes of Properties of Metals and AlloYs solution. Brittleness induced by slow cooling is caused. by gradual precipitation of impurities at the grain boundaries. These considerations led the authors to the conclusion that the "solution-precipitation" theory is probably the most correct of any yet expounded on the reversible temper brittleness.

PERIODIGAL. Izvestiya Akademii nauk SSSR, Otdeleniye teklinicheskikh nauk, 1958, 'Nr 7, pp 134 - 135 + 2 plates (USSR) ABSTRACT: The author refers to his investigations of the deloormation of polyorystalline metals and alloys by high-temperature metallographic methods (Refs 1-3). These showed that elastic deformation of individual mierc-volumes inside and on the surface of grains is reversible only when the stresses.'set up do not lead to a definite energy barrier being su'riassed. Inter-atomic forces in the a-ystal lattice cause the displaced volumes to return. This is illustrated schematiually in Figure 1 and by a series of photo- micrographs (Figure 2) of the same portion of a polished surface of grade K-000 cobalt in the course of an experi- ment on a type IYAASh-5M installation (which has been described in Ref 4).

The orystallograpbic orientation of a given zone and its position relative to adjacent zones can affect the tensile-stress value at which relief is formed (Figure 3 shows the zone of a pure- cobalt specimen where fracture took place after 15 minutes at a higher stress value than those corresponding to Figure 2). A chemically etched alpha-cobalt surface is shown in Figure 4. The author concludes that his results prove beyond doubt the existence of the"elastic" movement and refers to B.M. Rovinskiy's work (Refs 5-7) with iron and tungsten. He proposes to extend his own work to other pure metals and alloys. There are 4 figures and Soviet references.

I., Engineer TITLE: Structure of Grain Boundaries and Heat Resistance of Austenitic Steel (Struktura granits zeren i zharoprochnost' austenitnoy stali) PERIODICAL: Metallovedeniye i Obrabotka Metallov, 1958, Nr 11, pp 19-25 + 4 plates (USSR) ABSTRACT: Hardening of the boundaries of austenitic grains, detected during impact bending tests and also as a result of static tensile stresses at liquid nitrogen temperature (Ref 6), leads to the assumption that the bsr-de~g is accompanied by an increase in the resistance to plastic deformation at~elevated temperatures. Therefore, it was considered advisable to investigate the influence of the structure of the grain boundaries in the austenitic steel 60Kh4G8N8Y on the creep speed. After hardening from 1100-1150 C, this steel has an austenitic structure and possesses a high impact 0strength, 30-40 kgm/cm . Ageing in the range of 600-800 C results in separating out of Card 1/5 a carbide phase which brings about a drop in the impact SOV/129-58-11-3/13 Structure of Grain Boundaries and Heat Resistance of Austenitic Steel strength to 3-5 kgm/cm 2. The deve ent of brittleness is accompanied by inter-crystallittkisruptions. 0 It was established that rolling of steel at 900 to 1000 C under conditions excluding recrystallisation of austenite leads to a reduction in the brittleness. The authors considered it of interest to compare the established influence of plastic deformation on the impact strength with the creep speed at elevated temperatures. The experiments were effected by means of the test device IMASh-5M which permits studying the micro-structure during heating and tensile tests in vacuum (Refs.?-9). The material was prepared for the investigations as follows: the blanks were heated to 1200 C ando allowed to cool to the rolling temperature (1000-1100 C). Rolling with a reduction of 25% was effected on a laboratory rolling stand. For preventing recrystallisation of the work hardened austenite, the metal was cooled immediately afterwards in water, whereby the time interval between the end of the rolling and the cooling process amounted to no more than 0.2-0.3 see. A part of the blanks which ~vere n8t subjected to deformation were also Card 2/5 hardened from 1000-1100 C. Following that, the blanks were SOV/129-58-11-3/13 Structure of Grain Boundaries and Heat Resistance of Austenitic Steel aged for a duration of four hours at 750 OC and then specimens were cut out to a shape as shown in Fig.l. The flat surface of the specimen.was ground and chemically etched for the purpose of revealing the structure. The etched stru8ture was conserved during subsequent heating to 900-1000 C in vacuum and this enabled observations of the changes in the structure during plastic deformation. For measuring the deformation during the tests a number of indentations were made on the ground surfacei these were arranged perpendicular to the axis of the specimen with spacings of 6 mm; during the tests the distance between the individual indentations were measured with an accuracy of + 111. The specimen was heated by passing current direitly through it, whereby the temperature was controlled by a thermocouple which was welded onto the specimen. All the changes in the structure observed during the tests were recorded by photographing one and the same spot of the ground surface. The micro-structures of the specimens after three heat treatment regimes are reproduced in Fig.2, whegeby the duration of ageing in all Card 3/5cases was 4 hours at 750 C. The test results graphed in SOV/129-58-11-3/13 Structure of Grain Boundaries and Heat Resistance of Austenitic Steel Fig.3, i.e. the changes in the elongation of the steel 6OKh4G8N8V with various ini8ial structures as a function of the best duration at 900 C and an initial load of 5 kg/mm-", show that the behaviour of the specimens differs greatly for differing initial structures. It can be seen from Figs.4 and 5 that in ordinary specii6ens,as well as in specimens preliminarily deformed at 1000 C,cracks will appear and develop along the boundaries of the austenitic grains. The influence of partial recrystallisation at elevated temperatures on the heat resistance is graphed in Fig.3; a special experiment (curve 4) shows to what extent the creep speed can Increase when crystallisation develops. On the basis of the obtained results the following conclusions are arrived at: For the investigated alloy an increase in the heat resistance will be brought about by such changes of the structural state of the austenitic grain boundaries which result in an intensive distortion of the preliminary plastic deformation under conditions excluding development of recrystallisation; a decrease in Card 4/5 the creep speed is linked with braking of the plastic SOV/129-58-11-3/13 Structure of Grain Boundaries and Heat Resistance of Austenitic Steel deformation along the boundaries of the austenitic grain; hardening of the alloy is apparently also determined by a change in the fine structure throughout the entire body of the grain.

ABSTRACT: The conference held in November, 1957 was convened by the Leningrad Scientific and Technical Society of the Engineering and Power Generation Industry (Leningradskoye Nauchno-Tekhnicheskoye Obshchestvo Mashinostroitellnoy i Energeticheskoy Promyshlennosti). The task of the conference was to report on advanced experience, to discuss achievements in this field outside the Soviet Union and to evolve recommendations for expanding the use of high frequency in industry and introduction of progressive technology and also evolving organisational measures for improving the quality of high frequency equipment and apparatus. The conference included sections.for induction heating technology, metals technology, non- conducting materials and equipment Candidate of Technical Sciences, M:A. Spitsyn (NII TVCh imeni V. P. Vologdin) read the paper "New developments Card 1/141n the field of industrial application of high frequency 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of high frequency currents held in Leningrad. currents". In this paper he outlined the most important trends in the use of high frequency heating between 1955 and 1957 dealing with surface hardening of components with complicated configurations; high speed gas carburisa- tion using induction heating; heating right through of blanks for forging, stamping and rolling; development of apparatus for controlling heat treatment processes and automation and mochanisation in large batch and mass production. Duriiur the last three years the following technological processes have been developed which are based on induction heating: 1. Two-frequency "hardening" of the surface of toothed gears with average * moduli. First, heating is effected with a frequency of 1000-2500 c.p.s. during which the heat is generated mainly at the bottom of the tooth gap and, following that, radio frequency is fed to the inductor for a duration of 0.5 -to 0.8 sec for heating the tips of the teeth. Subsequent quenching permits obtaining a hardened layer which r6producesthe shape of the teeth. 2. Gas case hardening of toothed gears using induction Card 2/14heating ensures a sharp increase of the speed of the 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hiGh frequency currents held in Leningrad. chemical-heat treatment and is used successfully in the automobile industry. 3. Hardening of the drilling bits for use in the oil industry. .4. "Bright" annealing of steel strip. 5. Two-frequency heating of steel blanks for heating by applying pressure, particularly for rolling. 6. Heating and hardening of leaf springs on automatic machines. 7. High.speed tempering of hardened components using high frequency heating etc. For automating technological processes, the followinG are at present manufactured: An automatic machine for heating and hardening of leaf springs; manipulator for horizontal forging machines; automatic machines for hardening of small components. Of the new apparatus used in induction heating, the author mentioned a stabiliser of the temperature of compon- eats being heated, a photo-electric pyrometer with a direct reading off of the temberature, relay for dosing the energy, etc. Of particular interest were the data he gave on Card 14the two-frequency heating of gears. The entire process 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of high frequency currents held in Leningrad. takes only a few seconds and can be used in mass production for heat treatment of gears with average moduli. Heating of blanks which are to be shaped by applyinG pressure is also effected by two-frequency induction 0heating using 50 c.p.s. current for heating to 700-750 C followed by heating with high frequencies to 1100-11500C. The tvio- frequency induction heating reduces the consumption of electricity in the case of heating right through of blanks. For tempering and annealing of weld joints, induction heating with 50 c.p.s. and with higher frequencies is used. The paper of M. G. Lozinskiy, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Institute of-Egineering Technology, Ac.Sc. USSR (Institut Mashinovedeniya AN SSSR) dealt with the problems of strength of surface hardened components and the features of high frequency heating. The deformation detected by the author in engineering magnetic steels "45" and 114OXII forms in the surface layer as a results of magnetostriction caused by the a.c. electromagnetic field of the inductor. On a smooth surface of blanks consisting of magnetic steels which were subjected to Card 4/14 repeated cycles of heating and cooling, "mounds" and 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hi,r,-h frecuency currents hold in Leningrad. "valleys" form at spacings equalling the half-wave of the supersonic oscillations generated by the hiGh frequency. In non-magnetic steels no such phenomenon was observed. It was also observed that with increasing number of cycles, heating-cooling, the diameter of the cylindrical specimens in the heatinG zone increases, whilst -the height of the specimens decreases. Furthermore, the author reported on the method of G. V. Uzhik which enables increasing the static strength up to 300%; this is achieved by using h.f. heating of a thin layer in the zone of stress concentrations at the surface of steel components. Thus, for instance, cylindrical specimens made of hardened 4OX steels with a stress concentrator in the form of a notch will be 2.5 times stronger if the notch zone is tempered by using h.f. heating. M. G. Lozinskiy considers that use of the method of strengthening applying h.f. tempering of the stress concentration zones will permit evolving specifications which would justify more rational designs than those used hitherto. K. Z. Shepelyakovskiy (ZIL) read the paper "On reducing Card 5/14the hardenability as a means of achieving contour (surface) 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of high frequency currents held in Leningrad. hardening of toothed gears of average moduli". For this purpose a steel with low hardenability, 9A 937, was used. Gears made of this steel, of 180 mm dia. with a modulus of 4.2,were heated by means of an 8000 c.p.s. current of 100 kW capacity for a duration of 24 secs. The heating was effected in a ring-shaped inductor after which the gears were moved into a ring-shaped shower with a fixed direction of the holes. The teeth and the rims of the gears were subjected to hardening. The stren-th of the hardened teeth was investigated by loading until failure. In the case of gears made of the steel 3oxrT (after carburisation and hardening) this load was 15.6*tons, for the steel 5W 937 the load was 16 tons. In the case of hardening of gears made of the steel M 937, a minimum deformation occurs, the fluctuations along the pitch circle after hardening amounted to 0.01-0.02 mm. In some cases the contact strength should be increased by increasing the carbon content to 0.6-0.7%. I. L. Glukhanov, V. N. Bogdanov, Ye. D. Makarova, H.F. Scientific Research Institute imeni V.P. Vologdin Card 6/14 (NII TVCh imeni V. P. Vologdina) presented a paper on 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hiL~h frequency currents held in Leningrad. surface hardening of gears by induction heatin::- with two frequencies. The method ensures heating along the contour of gears with moduli of 3.5 to 5. During heating with a lower frequency (1000 to 2000 c.p.s.),the bottom, of the tooth gap is heated intensively, whilst at radio frequency (300 000 c.P.s.) the tip of the tooth is heated. The same inductor is used for both frequencies. The heatin- with the lower frequency lasts 2.5 to 4 sees; ~herebythe specific power consumption is 1.5 to 1.7 kW/cm . Heating with the higher frequency is effected for q-5 to 0.7 see using a specific power of 1.1 to 1.2 k.W/cml~. The 1000 c.p.s. current is generated by a 500 kW rotary generator, whilst the 300 kc/sec current is generated with an oscillator circuit of 400 kVI rating. During hardening of gears made of steel 1145" cracks occur and, therefore, the carbon content was reduced and alloy steels 36 r2C, 35cr etc. are being used. For fracturing a tool of a surface hardened gear a force of 9.5 to 17 tons is required, whilst the force required for fracturinG case hardened gears after hardening,made of the steel 18xrT, Card 7/lL4id not exceed 10 tons per tooth. Gears produced by using 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hiGh frequency currents held in Leningrad. two-frequency hardening wore dorim three times faster than gears produced according to the old technology. Therefore, in the further tests the steels 65r, 5oxr, 40XH and 4OXHKA were used. The paper of N. M. Rodigin, Ural Branch of the Ac.Sc. USSR (Urallskiy Filial AN SSSR) was devoted to the new method of induction heating of steel strip. The novel feature consists in the fact that the electro-magnetic field produced by an alternatin- current is directed perpendicular to its surface and not in the longitudinal dir.---ction of the strip. This enables using economical sources of current of elevated frequency, namely, rotary generators. The required temperature distribution alonG the width of the strip is ensured by an appropriate configuration of the maLnetic path and by an air gap between the poles. This method can be used for annealing cold rolled strip, for heating and for preheating of strip during rolling, pickling, deposition of coatings, etc. V. N. Bogdanov and V. A. Peysakhovich reported on the practical application ofthe above method for annealing Card 8/14 thin strip in the Leningrad Steel Rolling Mill (LeninGQradskiy 129-L[-12112 ~11-Union Conference on industrial use of hi&,Ii frequency currents held in Leningrad. Staleprokatniy Zavod). The optimum, frequency depends on the thickness and the width of the strip. For a lhiclmess of 0.2 to 0.6 mm and a width of 100 mm it is recommended to use a current of 8000 c.p.s.; for strip of 200 mm a current of 2500 c.p.s. and for a width of 420 mm a current of 1000 c.p.s. On heating strip to 700-900 C, the uniformity of0the temperature along the breadth of the strip is + 25 C. For heatinG,a two-turn inductor was used, wheFeby the conductors of the current and of the magnetic flux were water cooled. This method was applied in the case of bright annealing of cold rolled strip. For a speed of movement of the strip of 25 m/min the required power was 200 M (for a frequency of 2500 C.P.S.). The productivity of the equipment equalled 1 'Uon/hr. The specific power consumption during induction heating is 180-190 kWh/ton. Compared with annealing in chamber furnaces, this method has a number of advantages since thereby the productivity per m of production space is increased two to threefold, the annealing time is reduced by several hundred times, uniform mechanical Card 9/14 properties are ensured along the entire length of the 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of high frequency currents held in Leningrad. strip coil and welding together of the strip during annealing is prevented. The specific consumption of electricity is higher for induction heating than for electrical furnaces. V. N. Gridnev, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Kiyev Polytechnical Institute (Kiyevskiy Polite Idiniche skiy Institut) dealt with the influence of the speed of heating on the structure and the properties of steel. Apparatus was built for the investigations which enabled simultaneous recording of several physical parameters .so that the following could be oscillosraphically recorded: temperature, change in the length of the specimen and in its electric resistance and also current intensity in the inductor. 0The recording was effected with a speed of 50 to 10 000 C/sec and the d~latometric curves were recopded with a speed of 60 000 C/sec. The following binary alloys were investigated - Fe-Cr (up to 8016); Fe-Si (up to 3%); Fe-Ti; Fe-W; the C content was about 0.02%. Stee3scontaining 0.1; 0.45; 0.54; 0.77 and 1.12106 C were also investigated. The author has established Card 10/14 that during heating of annealed carbon-free alloys, the 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of high frequency currents held in Leningrad. transformation temperature does not depend on the speed of heating and the magnitude of the volume effects depends on the composition of the alloy and the preceding heat treatment. When heating annealed iron-carbon alloys, the transformation temperature is determined by the speed of heating and by the initial structure. On heating hardened low alloy carbon-free alloys, the transformation temperature compared to that in the alloys in the annealed statedQesnot change at all in some cases (Fe-S~; Fe-Ti), whilst in other cases it decreases by 30 to L~O 0 (Fe-Cr and Fe-W). On heating hardened steels, the dilatometric recordings show clearly the volume changes caused by the marten'site decomposition and by the phase transformation; the decomposition cannot 0be suppressed not even at heating speeds of 60 000 C/sec. At high heating speeds of hardened steelsiothe.phase transformation takes place in the range of 700 C, i.e. at lower temperatures than the transformation during slow heating.

In their paper I. N. Kidin, Doctor of Technical Sciences, and Yu. A. Bashnin, Moscow Institute of Steel (bloskovskiy Institut Stali) expressed the view that the higher the heating speed the larger will be the temperature range in which phase transformations will take place. Experimental data show that pearlite- austenite transformations proceed in the range of higher temperatures. In the case of high frequency hardening, higher temperatures are required than in the case of heating in an ordinary furnace. This is attributed to the fact that the phase transformations proceed with a higher speed due to the more rapid rise in the temperature and due to the sharp acceleration of the dissociation of carbides and the diffusion of carbon in the ferrite. The authors showed that it is justified to introduce a new thermal parameter, namely, the speed of induction heating in the range of phase transformations. This would enable Card 12/14 the plotting of diagrams of preferential and permissible 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hih frequency currents held in Leningrad. hardening regimes which would conserve the character of generally valid relations under conditions which are reproduceable in normal production. V. P. Pleshachkova (TsNIITMASh) read an interestinG paper on the deformation of surface hardened steel. H.F.surface hardening permits reducing the deformation of the steel. The author investigated the influence on the deformation OF the following factors: heating temperature, cooling 0 speed depth of the hardened layer, structure of the starting material and also of the temperature and time of heating in the case of low temperature tempering. The results have shown that in the case of h.f. surface hardening of rin specimens with small height to diameter ratios (1:4; 1:75 produced from various steels, the deformation manifests itself in a decrease of the outside diameter and an increase in the height and in the inner diameter. An increase in the temperature ledds to an increase in the deformation along the outside and inside diameters and manifests itself less on the height of the rings. The deformation of rings made of alloy steels Card 13/14 is greater than for rings made of carbon steels under 129-4-12/12 All-Union Conference on industrial use of hiGh frequency currents held in Leningrad. equal conditions of heating and cooling. Cooling in a 30 to 35% solution of glycerine and a y1o solution of potassium permanganate brings about a reduction in the deformation and in the crack formation particularly in the casS of alloy steels (40X, 4OXH3. Tempering at 140 to 200 C reduces the dimensions as compared to the hardened state and thereby the changes in the dimensions of the height and the internal diameter are compensated but the changes of the external diameter are amplified. Increase of the tempering temperature brings about an increase of the deformation. Representatives from Roumania and East Germany participated in the Conference. The German delegate, E. Trippmacher,reported on the designs of compact h.f. transformers with built-in magnetic paths produced in East Germany. VOTE: This is a complete translation and not an abstr2Ct.

They now describe a now series of experiments to elucidate the nature and. mechanism of this effect by measurement of the int.ernal friction of technical iron alloyed with various quantities of vanadium~ tungsten, chromium and molybdenum. The alloys were melted in a 50 kg Induction furnace and subjected to two-hour annealing. The alloys were hot- forged into 12 mm diameter rsds, from which test pieces Card 8t 0.01 mm in diameter and 12.'00 mm long were prepared for internal friction maasu~~ements by grinding.

The results are shown in Figs It and .~5 as internal. friction versus temperature curves for vatious cl-ompositions of Fe-V and Fe-W alloys, respecti~iely, and in Fig 6 for Fe + 4% Mo in the annealed and hardened states. The dependence of the internal- fr_iction paak values on ageing time (minutes) at 1150C is sh,_;wn in Fig 117. The microstructures of the specimens are shown in Figs 1--3. F:~-,m discussions of their own and published results the a-uthors conclude that. although a final d6:!ision on the me--hanism of the effe!.--ts of vanadium Card p/1+ and chr,_.inium on the rata of ageing is not yet possible, it appears that ir- soxe hardening fails to fix sov/180-59-1-12/29 Influence of Vanadium, Tungsten~ Chromium and Molybdenum on the Internal Friction and Rate of Ageing of Technical Iron the state of solid solution with intruded atoms. Since tungsten additions to technical iron accelerate solid solution decomposition in the second stage and shorten the first stage of ageing they must increase the mobility of intruded atoms in alpha-iron, representing a decrease in their diffusion activation-energy. Chromium has the opposite effect and also smooths out the transition from the second to the third stages. Both elements increase the solubility of nitrogen and carbon in the alpha-iron lattice. On the effect of the elements on internal friction the authors suggest that the influence of vanadium is mainly due to its combination with nitrogen atoms but state that no estimate can yet be given of the vanadium concentration necessary to eliminate the peak. The effect of.tungsten is less than that of vanadium and is explained iii~"inly in terms of grain size and the state of precipitation of impurities.

The construction of the machine is shown in Fig 1: the left hand diagram shows the machine ready for selecting the test spot or for measuring the indentation; the right hand ready for indentation. The figure does not include the indentor position-adjusting screws. A general view is given in Fig 4 to 6 and the circuit :Ln Fig 5- One face of the test piece (Fig 2) is polished; its overall length is -10 mm.

The diamond cannot be useg with carbide-forming alloys and temperatures over 900 C. The indentation is photographed with a type MFN-2 camera and measured with a type AM9-2 or AM9-3 ocular micrometer. Heating is by direct passage of an electric current and temperature is measured with a thermo-couple welded to the middle part of the test piece and a type EPD-12 electronic potentiometer. Evacuation is effected by a type TsVL-100 oil-vapour pump backed by a PVN-20 rotary pump, the vacuum being measured with a type VIT-1 gauge. 10 to 20 indentations were made per test piece which had before the test been annealed in vacuum at 9500C (for I hour) to remove surface work hardening produced by the polishing. As an example the authors gave.the curve of micro-hardness against temperature (Fig 7) obtained for technical iron with indentor loads of 50 g applied for 15 see in a residual pressure of 10-5 aim Hg. The curve shows a steady fall from 0 to 200 and about 320 to 870.

Fig 8 shows corresponding photomicro- graphs of the iron surface. Another series of experiments was carried out to find the influence of tensile stress on micro-hardness of iron at temperatures up to 1000*C. Ten indentations were made at each of the stresses chosen, at a given temperature separate experiments being done at different temperatures. The results (Fig 9) show that micro-hardness has a minimum at definite stress values which decrease as the temperature rises. The rise in micro-hardness at higher stress values is considerable: the authors attribute these increases to work hardening due to plastic deformation. The authors hope to extend their work to the influence of prolonged loading over a wide temperature range on strength values as estimated fromoicro-hardness.

In reality, for most carbon steels in magnetic fxelds of medium and high intensity, tension reduces the permeability somewhat whilst compression substantially increases the permeability. This effect would have little significance in practice if a uniform stress existed throughout the heated body (except for a variation in the duration of heating). In fact, the stress distribution is non-uniform. This causes a non-uniforni distribution of temperature. An example is the well known striped heating observed before the entire surface reaches the Curie point temperature. The distance between the stripes is known to be inversely proportional to the square root of the frequency. A physical exp' 'i'anation of this effect is given on the basis of the mag--eto-elastic Card 1/2 effect and an approximate analysis yields the same formula 67295 sov/AO-59-4-32/48 Magneto-Elastic Effect in Induction Heating previously obtained by observation. Basically, the phenomenon is due to the formation of slight corrugations in the compressed heated outer layer. Another result of the magneto-elastic effect is the bright glow emitted by the edges of the cylinder when the end faces and side surfaces are still cold. It -is stated that the effect shows promise as a method of experimental investigation of the stressed state in the surface layer of machine components. There are 2 figures and 6 Soviet references.

The alloy 212 was investigated after quenching from 12000C in oil; the alloy 325 was investigated after quenching in water from 9000C. By means of hardness measurements, the kinetics of ageing of the alloys 212 and 325 at various temperatures were studied.

Since a larger quantity of heat was conducted away from the ends of the test pieces, and since their cross-section area was larger than that of the gauge length, a temperature gradient was set up in the test pieces; this temperature gradient7 in specimens with the maximum temperature of 800 and 1000 OC, is illustrated in Fig 16, where the temperature (OC7 horizontal axis) is tlotted against the distance (mm) from the centre of the VK est piece. The temperature of the centre of the specimen was made to fluctuate between 800 and 1000 OC. The circuit diagram of the automatic temperature controller and automatic recorder of the number of the CYclic temperature changes is shown in Figs 2 and 3; Fig 2 also shows the arrangement of the test piece in the vacuum chamber and a.metallurgical microscope, mo;~nted Card in the lid of the vacuum chambers and used to study-the 2/9 structural changes taking place in the test pieces during the experiments. The first significant fact observed was that "necking" of the commercial-grade iron 67829 SOV/180-59-6-5/31 On the Behaviour of Pure and Commercial-Grade Iron during Deformation under the Conditions of Cyclic Temperature Fluctuations specimens occurred not in the centre of the test piece, but at two points situated symmetrically on both sides of the "hot zone" (about 10 mm from the centre)7 where the temperature fluctuated between 750 and 850 OC. (Two necks were formed when the time at the lower and higher temperatures did not exceed 60 see; when the test piece was held at the temperature for longer periodsq only one neck in the centre of the specimen of the test piece was formed). This, apparently anomalous5 effect was attributed to several factors. While the overall carbon content of the investigated material was 0.03%, the local carbon concentrationg particularly at the grain and block boundaries, could be considerably higher. Bearing in mind that the temperature of the a -4 y transformation changes from 910 to.721 OC when the carbon content varies from 0 to 0.83%, it will be seen that the C-rich, grain- boundary regions in the central part of the tensile test Card piece whose temperature fluctuated between 800 and 10000C 3/9 remained in the y-iron range throughout the experiment, while in the interior of the grains (blocks), each 67829 SOV/180-59-6-5/31 On the Behaviour of Pure and C:ommercial- Grade Iron during Deformation under.the Conditions of Cyclic Temperatu.re.Fluctuations temperature fluctuation was accompanied,by-the a -4 T (heating) or T'--4 m.(cooling) transformatibn.

A 4 67829 sov/18o-59-6-5/31 On the Behaviour of Pure and Commercial-Grade iron during Deformation under the Conditions of Cyclic Temperature Fluctuations It will be seen that an anomalous increase in the length of the test pieces was observed during cooling through the 800-730 OC temperature range, and that the rate of deformation during heating was highest in the same temperature range. The structural changes occurring in commercial grade iron during the experiments are illus- trated by a series of microphotographs (X 201+)q reproduced in Fig 6t and showing the appearance of the polished surface of the specimen in the region of et~ necking; the temperature of this region fluctuated between 750 and 850 OC the duration of the heating and cooling cycles being 26 and 2-2 see, respectively7 and the time at the temperature, 2 sees the test piece was under a tensile stress of 0.55 kg/mm2.'

The machine Card 1/ 1.6 s/lBo/61/ooo/ool/007/015 Kinetics and Mechanism of ... E021/E4o6. was used to study the effect of temperature and rate of deformation on samples of commercially pure nickel (99.85% Ni with 0.02 C., o.o6 si, 0.03 Cu, 0.005 S and 0.0020,0' P). Specimens were heated at 11500C for 3 hours to give a mean 2grain diameter of 0.15 to 0.18 inin and a hardness of 65 to 70 kg/mm . The samples were tested at 600 and 10000C with strain rates of 0.5 and 2.8 x 102mm/h. The results are shown in Fig.4. A decrease in rate of deformation results in a mariced decrease in the strengthening effect occurring during plastic deformation at a given temperature. Specimens tested at 2.8 x 102 mm/hour at both temperatures fractured after a large degree of deformation with a transcrystalline fracture and formation of necking. Specimens tested at 0.5 mm/hour and 10000C gave a ductile fracture with preliminary formation of necking in spite of the fact that many intercrystalline cracks appeared in the process of deformation. At 0.5 mm/hour rate and 6000C, brittle fracture occurred without any substantial local deformation. Fig-5- 8 show series of micropbotographs taken during testing. An increase in 'the rate of deformation from 0.5 to 2.8 x 102 mm/hour at 6000C results in intensification of the processes of slip in the grains as shown by the slip lines.

The test; pieces were preliminarily heat treated by heating for two hours at 1100*C in evacuated quartz ampules followed by oil quenching. (ne face of each heat treated specimen was polished and etched to reveal the microstructure and test pieces with an average grain- size of 30 to 60 (EKhl8N9) or 100 to 130 microns (4KhlhNl4V2M) were selected. During the tests (carried out in vacuum) the etched side of the test piece, marked by a series of equi-Oi--tvirit, Card 1/4 28899 S/129/61/000/010/001/012 A study of the inechanism E193/E480 (50 microns) microhardness indentations, was facing a window through which microcinephotographs were taken throughout the duration of each test. This made it possible to study each stage of the deformation process by measuring the increase in the distance between the diamond pyramid indentations, and by following the changes in the microstructure. To overcome the difficulties caused by volatilization of the test piece material and its subsequent condensation as a metallic film on the window of the vacuum chamber, a special device was constructed whose detailed description is given in the paper. Some of the typical results are reproduced in Fig.9, showing the strain (c, %) versus time (minutem) curves for steel 4Khl4Nl4V2M tested at IIOOOC under a stress of 5.5 kg/mm2; broken curve relates to the total elop~~ation of the test piece, curves marked by numbers give the el-ingation of microregions bounded by the corresponding diamonJ indenter marks as shown in the insert in Fig.g. Other observations can be summarized as follows, (1) The microstructure of the steels studied was revealed after one minute at 11000C; this was most likely caused by preferential volatilization of the metal in the grain boundary regions, (2) Intergranular cracks appeared in the very early stages of Card 2/4 A study of the mechanism 28899 S/129/61/000/010/001/012 E193/E480 deformation which indicated that, under the experimental conditions employed, creep is associated mainly with int ercrysta I line slip with very little deformation taking place within the grains. (3) The total elongation depended upon the applied stress and varied between 17.5and 25/o in steel EKhl8N9 and between 8 and 16% in steel 41(hl4Nl4V2M. This difference was attributed to the larger grain-size of the latter material. (4) For an equal stress of 2.5 kg/mm2, the time-to-rupture was 5.5 and 24 minutes on steels EKhl8N9 and 4Khl4Nl4V2M respectively. This difference was also attributed to the difference in the grain-size, since the total length of the grain boundaries which determine the strain accumulated prior to fracture is smaller in a coarse-grained material.

D217/D303 The distribution of deformation along the length of the specimen, the intercrystalline and crystalline plasticity and the formation and propagation of cracks during fracture were given particular attention. It was found that high-temperature plastic deformation of the steel investigated, under conditions in which recrystalliza- tion processes are suppressed (thermo-mechanical treatment)q leads to a considerable increase in long-term strength. The beneficial ac- tion of thermo-mechanical treatment is associated with structural characteristics of the steel which arise during high temperature plastic deformation and are fixed by cooling at a sufficiently high rate. Such characteristics are the complex geometry of grain boun- dariesp grain fragmentation and further refinement of the fine cry-, stal structureo These structural characteristics of the steel re- tarded the development of fracture during creep, since (a) the cha- racteristic serrated grain boundary structure retards the amalgama- tion between micro.- and macro-cracks; (b) breaking-up of the fine crystal structureq and an increase in the density of immobilized dislocations render plastic deformation within the grains more dif- ficult.

The effect of this treatment on the structure and properties of various materials has already been studied by other workers. Some additional data on TI-10 of austenitic steels are presented in the present paper, with particular reference to the properties of these steels after TX'O to the ageingtreatment and to some characteristics of the diffusion processes.- The experiments were:conducted on chromium- Card 1/8 , Thermomechanical treatment, ....

In-this case TMO had practically no effect on the resistance-to-creep of the steels studied. The results of phase analysis showed that although the chromium-carbide-content of specimens subjected to TMO had increased considerably, it was independent of the rolling speed employed in-the-course of this treati--ient. The vanadium-carbide content of the material was practically unaffected by TMO. Finally, the results of diffusion studies indicated that after TMO the coefficient of volume c:iffusion of iron in steel'at 800 0 C increased fourfold.

The blanks were then aged-at 8000C for 16 hours. The results of static tensile and impact tests-at room temperature are given in Table 1. Studies of the influence of thermomechanical treatment on the creep strength of austenitic steels revealed that recrystallization should be prevented during high-temperature plastic deformation since it would cancel out the beneficial effects of the thermomechanical treatment. Midrostructural investigations correlated with the results of mechanical tests indicate that the increase- in strength and'ductility occurs even if recrystallization has not been fully suppressed.

This is particularly important in the case of Mo, which is mainly used in high-temperature applications and, consequently, it is important to establish heat- and mechanical- treatment procedures which would ensure polygonizgtion of this metal and its alloys.

Lozinskiy and N.Z. Pertsovskiy - Izv. AN SSSR, OTN, seriya Metallurgiya i toplivo, no. 1, 1961) were used. Experiments were conducted on -racuum-melted Mo containing small additions of Ti and Zr which constituted a solid solution and in which no solid transformation of any kind took place. Thecast ingots were first hot-forged and then hot-rolled to 3.5 mm thickness, after which the material was annealed at 1 500 OC for one hour. Part of the annealed strip was rolled at 600 0C to 5 7, 9 and 13% reduction in thickness and specimens of both annealed and work-hardened alloys were used for taking hardness measurements at 1 050, 1 100 and 1 150 OC. In the other series of experiments, electrolytically polished test pieces of annealed material were extended 0in vacuum at a constant rate of strain at 1 050 and 1 150 C and after attaining elongation of 3, 6 and 13% were maintained under a load, photomicrographs of the surface of the test pieces being taken at various stages of this treatment. X-ray diffraction analysis was also carried out on test pieces stressed at elevated temperatures. The results obtained can be summarized as Card 2/ 33468 S/129/62/000/001/oll/oll Polygonization of .... E193/E383 follows. 1) Hot hardness-of the alloys studied increases with increasing degree of preliminary plastic deformation but the longer the loading time used during the hardness measurements, the lower is the value of hardness obtained. This is illustrated in Fig. 2, where the Vickers hardness (HV) of various specimens is plotted against the loading time (min), the degree of preliminary plast�c deformatlon (%) be�ng ind�cated on each graph; experimental points denoted by circles, triangles and dots relatea respectively, to test temperatures of 1 050, 1 100 and 1 150 C. It will be seen that an anomalous increase takes place in specimens preliminarily rolled to 9% reduction and that the hardness of specimens deformed to 139 reduction is higher at 1 150 0C than at 1 050 0C or 1 100 C. 2) The increase in hardness with rising temperature is relatively small in specimens deformed to 5 and 7% reduction and-large in more heavily deformed material, this increase being particularly pronounced in specimens given 9% reduction, which indicates that this treatment brings about polygonization Card 3/ 'W' 33468 S/129/62/000/001/011/011 Polygonization of .... E193/E383 of the alloy. In Fig- 3 the decrease in hardness (8 H, kg/mm 2 is plotted against the test temperature, the degree of preliminary deformation being indicated by each curve. 3) The microhardness of the alloy at high temperature also varies with loading time. This is demonstrated in Fig. 4, where the m1crohardness (HV, kg/mm.2) is glotted against the loidims time at 1 050 (graph a) and 1 150 C (graphG), the degree of preliminary deformation being shown by each curve. It will be seen that the0microhardness of all work-hardened specimens tested at 1 050 C decreases monotonically with increasing loading time; the curves for specimens given 9 and 13% reduction and tested at 1 150 0C show a maximum at 30 and 80 min, respectively. The maximum increase in microhardness with increasing loading times is shown by a specimen deformed to 9% reduction and tested at 1 150 OC. 4) The results of X-ray diffraction analysis show that fragmentation of blocks in the course of plastic deformation is a characteristic feature of Mo and that the degree of Card 4/ Ps. 3 t i7i N,
