Technological properties of steel 20X13
Forging temperature |
The beginning 1250, the end 850. Sections up to 150 mm are air-cooled, 150−400 mm requires low-temperature annealing with one subcooling. |
Weldability |
Limited weldability. Welding methods: RTD, ADF under submerged arc, ADF and CTS. Heating and heat treatment are used depending on the method of welding, type and purpose of construction. |
Machinability |
In the hardened and tempered state at HB 241 and σB = 730 MPa Kυ of solid steel = 0,7, Kυ b.st. = 0,45. |
