DEVELOPMENT of TECHNOLOGY SOFTENING INDUCTION ANNEALINGOF WORKPIECES FROM STEEL X15

The article is devoted to the development of modes softening annealing treatment steel15Хusing high frequency induction heating with the purpose of conducting cold forging. Mechanical properties and microstructure characteristicswere investigated. It was shown that the form of cementite does not play a role in the process of deformation of low-carbon low- alloy steel.bn
