Total information

Steel 20 is a structural carbon quality steel widely used in industry. Its popularity is not inferior to 09G2S steel, although in terms of technical and operational characteristics there is a noticeable difference between these grades. Steel 20 is used mainly for the production of parts, welded structures, in construction, and mechanical engineering, but a complete list of industries for its use would take several pages of text. The practicality of steel of this grade allows it to occupy one of the leading positions on the market among ferrous rolled metals.

Characteristics

The metal is characterized by excellent weldability; there are no special requirements for welding, except in cases where the parts have previously been subjected to chemical or heat treatment. Steel 20 is not prone to temper brittleness and is insensitive to flakes and flake sensitivity. The alloy is resistant to pressure treatment, can be cut well by any means, does not crack, and is amenable to surface machining.

Steel 20 is less resistant to chemical attack; contact with alkalis and acids is not recommended. There is no protection against corrosion; products made from steel 20 are not recommended for use in conditions of high humidity, in contact with water without additional protective coatings (zinc, chrome or paint).

Heat treatment of steel 40Х

Heat treatment of steel 40X - alloy structural steel is intended for high-strength parts such as axles, shafts, gear shafts, plungers, rods, crank and cam shafts, rings, spindles, mandrels, racks, sponge rings, bolts, axle shafts, bushings and other parts increased strength. 40X steel is also often used to produce forgings, stampings and pipe fittings. However, the last listed parts require additional heat treatment, which consists of quenching through water in oil or simply in oil, followed by tempering in oil or air.

Decoding steel grade 40X. The number 40 indicates that the steel contains 0.4% carbon. Chromium content is less than 1.5%. In addition to the usual impurities, it contains specially introduced elements in certain quantities, which are designed to provide specially specified properties. In this case, chromium is used as an alloying element, as indicated by the corresponding marking.

Heat treatment of steel 20

Heat treatment of steel 20 - high-quality structural carbon steel. Widely used in boiler making, for pipes and heating pipelines for various purposes; in addition, the industry produces rods and sheets. The starting temperature for forging steel 20 is 1280° C, the end temperature is 750° C, the forging is cooled by air. Steel 20 is non-flock sensitive and not prone to tempering. After carburization and cyanidation, steel 20 can be used to produce parts that require high surface hardness and can tolerate low core strength: cam rollers, fasteners, spindles, sprockets, studs, link forks and shift shafts gears, valve tappets, oil pump rollers. Steel 20 is used for the production of lightly loaded parts (pins, axles, copiers, stops, gears), cemented parts for long and very long service (operation at temperatures not exceeding 350 ° C), thin parts exposed to abrasion and other parts of automotive and agricultural mechanical engineering.

Heat treatment of steel 30khgsa

Heat treatment of steel 30xgsa - refers to medium-alloy structural steel. Steel 30xgsa undergoes improvement - hardening followed by high tempering at 550-600 ° C, therefore it is used in the creation of improved parts (except for aircraft parts, these can be various casings, axles and shafts, blades of compressor machines that operate at 400 ° C, and much more), levers, pushers, critical welded structures operating under alternating loads, fasteners operating at low temperatures. Steel 30xgsa has good endurance, excellent impact strength, and high strength. It also has excellent weldability.

Welding 30xgsa steel also has its own characteristics. It is carried out with preheating of the material to 250-300 ° C, followed by slow cooling. This procedure is very important because cracks may appear due to the sensitivity of the steel to sudden temperature changes after welding. Therefore, upon completion of welding work, the torch should be withdrawn slowly, while heating the material at a distance of 20-40 mm from the welding site. Also, no more than 8 hours after completion of welding, welded joints of 30KhGSA steel require quenching with heating to 880 °C, followed by high tempering. Next, the product is cooled in oil at 20-50 °C. Tempering is carried out by heating to 400 - 600 ° C and cooling in hot water. Welding must be performed as quickly as possible in order to avoid burnout of alloying elements. After undergoing thermomechanical low-temperature treatment, 30KhGSA steel acquires a tensile strength of up to 2800 MPa, impact strength doubles (in contrast to conventional heat treatment of 30KhGSA steel), and ductility increases.

Rotors, disks and turbine blades are made from them, and recently they have been used for ring parts large thicknesses. There are a large number of steel grades of this class. Common to all is a reduced chromium content, the presence of molybdenum, vanadium and tungsten. They are effectively strengthened by conventional heat treatment methods, which are based on the y-a transformation and provide for the formation of martensite in the structure with subsequent improvement depending on the technical requirements. (substitutes: 12Х13, 14Х17Н2)

Advantages and disadvantages of steel 20

Steel 20 is distinguished by its quality and relatively low production cost. It is an upgradeable alloy, making it adaptable to a wide range of conditions and, as a result, widespread.

Steel 20 is corrosion-resistant and susceptible to chemical influences - this is its main drawback. The advantages include:

  • good weldability without special requirements for the procedure;
  • disinclination to temper fragility;
  • insensitivity to flakes;
  • price-quality ratio;
  • material density;
  • moderate strength.

Steel 20 is a ferrous metal with a simple composition without expensive alloying additives. The alloy has been produced for a long time, the production process is well studied, optimized, and worked out; There are no special conditions or requirements, so the metal is not very expensive.

Letter designations of steels and their interpretation

The chemical composition of many alloyed structural steels is determined by GOST 4543–71 “Rolled products from alloyed structural steel. Technical conditions". The same standard defines the basic letter symbols for designating alloying elements. It must be taken into account that steels are currently produced with additions of elements, the designation of which is not provided for by the standard. In this case, the elements in the steel grade are usually designated by the first letters of the name.

Steel grades

is a classification of steels according to their chemical composition and physical properties. In Russia, the USA [1], Europe [2], Japan [3] and China [4], various marking methods are used for similar steels.

Explanation of markings

The marking of steel 20 indicates the chemical composition of the alloy, in particular; on the proportion of carbon in the composition. Since 20 steel is considered high quality, higher demands are placed on the accuracy of its chemical composition.

Chemical composition

The chemical composition of steel 20 includes the following elements and their designations:

  • Carbon. The first digit 20 indicates the carbon content in hundredths, i.e. 0.2%. The advantage of steel with a high carbon content is higher strength, but this same indicator leads to a decrease in ductility.
  • Silicon. The proportion of silicon in the alloy ranges from 0.17 to 0.35%. Due to the presence of silicon in the metal composition, porosity and the number of gas pockets, which negatively affect the strength of the alloy, are reduced. Pores and cavities are formed due to oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen gases, the particles of which are removed by silicon.
  • Manganese. The proportion of manganese ranges from 0.35 to 0.6%. Manganese, like silicon, prevents oxidation and also removes sulfur from the composition. Thanks to manganese, heat treatment under pressure occurs with a low probability of crack formation, the effectiveness of forging and welding works improves, and the surface of products becomes of higher quality.
  • Chrome, copper, nickel. The proportion of nickel and copper usually does not exceed 0.3%, the proportion of chromium; 0.2%. These are alloying additives that have a positive effect on the properties of steel, but in this case their content is insignificant, so they do not have a noticeable effect on the characteristics of the alloy.
  • Phosphorus, sulfur. Phosphorus content is permissible up to 0.035%, sulfur; up to 0.04%. These are impurities that have a harmful effect on steel. They increase brittleness and negatively affect toughness, as a result of which the steel loses its resistance to dynamic loads.
  • Iron. The rest of the alloy is iron.

Types of rental

There are two main technologies for producing rolled profiles from steel 20:

  1. Hot deformation - used for rolling workpieces more than 4 mm thick. Hot deformation leads to the formation of scale, which is the main disadvantage of this technology.
  2. Cold deformation; used for rolling thin workpieces (up to 4 mm). As a result of cold deformation, the strength of the alloy increases due to cold hardening.

Three types of steel 20 according to deoxidation level

Deoxidation is the removal of oxygen from the composition of steel 20 in order to reduce the brittleness during hot working. The degree or level of deoxidation can also be called the degree of gas evolution during steel solidification. The intensity of gas evolution or boiling greatly affects the structure of the frozen metal; accordingly, the higher the level of deoxidation, the more solid and durable the structure will be.

Quiet and semi-quiet steel

Steel, which is deoxidized by silicon and manganese, can be maximally purified of oxygen content. Such steel is characterized by a complete structure without bubbles and pores, because the alloy solidifies in a calm state, without active release of gases. The formation of a shrinkage cavity occurs in the upper part; it is removed mechanically.

Quiet steel is more expensive than boiling and semi-quiet steel, because more difficult to produce. It is used in the manufacture of products with high strength requirements, for example, for load-bearing structures, railway tracks, etc.

Semi-quiet steel; an average state between calm and boiling steel, characterized by medium porosity. It comes in different qualities and is used for the manufacture of welded structures, blanks for rolled pipes, and fasteners.

Calm steel has the highest levels of strength and reliability, but its use may not be economically viable in industries where high demands are not placed on steel products.

Boiling steel

Steel 20, the deoxidation process of which is carried out thanks to manganese, contains the largest amount of dissolved gases and iron oxides. When boiling steel hardens, nitrogen and carbon dioxide are actively released, and multiple bubbles and pores are formed. Such steel is inferior to calm and semi-quiet steel in terms of strength, but has a number of positive characteristics. It is perfectly stamped, the process of its production is simpler and cheaper, and the production is waste-free.

Boiling steel is suitable for the production of products that are not subject to high loads during operation. This can be various types of fencing, sheet cladding, and other metal structures.

Carbon steel of ordinary quality

Carbon steels are divided into three main groups : carbon steels of ordinary quality, high-quality carbon steels and carbon steels for special purposes (automatic steel, boiler room, etc.).
Carbon steels of ordinary quality comply with GOST 380–2005. They are supplied in the form of rolled products in a normalized condition and are used in mechanical engineering, construction and other sectors of the national economy.

Carbon steels of ordinary quality are designated by the letters St and numbers from 0 to 6.

The numbers are the conditional number of the brand. The higher the number, the higher the carbon content, higher the strength and lower the ductility.

Depending on the purpose and guaranteed properties, carbon steels of ordinary quality are supplied in three groups : A, B, C. The indices to the right of the grade number mean:

  1. kp - boiling;
  2. ps - semi-calm;
  3. sp - calm.

The letter G may appear between the index and the brand number; this means a high manganese content. The grade designations to the left of the letters St indicate the groups (B and C) of steel. Ordinary quality steels are divided into categories . The steel category is indicated by the corresponding number to the right of the deoxidation degree index. For example, St5Gps3 means: steel of group A, grade St5, with a high manganese content, semi-calm, third category. Steel of the first category is written without indicating the number of the last, for example St4ps.

The chemical composition of group A steels is not regulated, but their mechanical properties are guaranteed, determined by the relevant state standard. Steels of this group are usually used for parts that are not subjected to hot processing (welding, forging, etc.) during the manufacturing process.

Group B steel is supplied according to its chemical composition and is used for parts that undergo heat treatment and hot pressure treatment (stamping, forging) during the manufacturing process. The mechanical properties of group B steel are not guaranteed. Group B steel is supplied with mechanical properties corresponding to the standards for group A steel, and a chemical composition corresponding to the standards for group B steel. Group B steel is used mainly for welded structures.

Mechanical properties

Steel 20 is characterized by high mechanical properties, such as ductility, hardness and strength. The high impact strength allows the steel to adequately withstand increased dynamic loads. Strength is improved by thermal or mechanical treatments - peening, roller rolling, annealing, normalization.

The specific gravity of steel is 7.85 g/cm3. Maximum linear expansion coefficient st 20 = 14.8·10-6 deg-1 at temperatures 27-700°C. Indicators for calibrated hot-rolled steel of the 2nd category: temporary tensile strength 410 MPa, relative elongation after fracture 25%, relative contraction 55%, Brinell hardness 4.8.

Technological properties

Steel 20 is a high-tech alloy classified as cemented. The cementation process is the saturation of the surface of a product with carbon by heating in a special environment. As a result of this treatment, the top layer of the product acquires a hardness value of up to 62 HRC, which is three times higher than that of the core. The metal lends itself well to forging, cutting and soldering, is not prone to cracking, and retains high density. All popular methods are applicable for welding - ADS, KTS, RDS, submerged arc welding, etc. The type of equipment depends on the selected welding technology.
