The paper presents the results of studies of a new cast high-strength austenitic corrosion-resistant steel, which can be successfully used in shipbuilding for the manufacture of fittings. The authors included data on the structural-phase state of steel, the results of evaluating the mechanical properties, wear and corrosion resistance of the metal of castings in the cast and heat-treated state. The mechanical properties of steel are considered in detail in a wide temperature range. The impact strength was considered at low temperatures and static strength at 20 to 350 ° C. It is shown that steel has higher mechanical and corrosive properties in a wide temperature range than those of traditional stainless steels. The corrosion resistance of steel is considered. This is intergranular and pitting corrosion; the main types of corrosion are peculiar for shipbuilding. It has been shown that cast steel is superior to traditional corrosion-resistant steels in pitting corrosion resistance estimated by the pitting coefficient PREN and the critical temperature of pitting. The new cast steel has the same wear resistance as Hadfield steel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
