Description

The purpose of investigations consisted in evaluating the effect of silicon on the structure and properties of structural steels. Four model alloys of the similar carbon content and the variable Si content were tested. The tests include measurements of HV, Rg, Rg0.2 and KIc. It has been shown that in the quenched steels containing about 0.3%C, silicon in the range of concentration 0.48-1.15% does not affect the hindering of their hardness decrease of Si content from 0.48% to 1.15% causes a clear growth coefficients Rg and Rg0.2. When the plane strain reached (at -40 and -196 C) the fracture toughness (KIc) decreases slightly. (author)
