Technological properties of steel 45X
Forging temperature |
Beginning 1250, end 780. Sections up to 100 mm are cooled in air, 101−300 mm — in a mold. |
Weldability |
difficult to weld. Welding methods: RDS — heating and subsequent heat treatment are required. KTS — subsequent heat treatment is required. |
Machinability by cutting |
In the hot-rolled state at HB 163−168, σ B = 610 MPa K υ tv.spl. = 1.20, K υ b.st. = 0.95. |
