Excellent fastening characteristics during soldering, affordable price, and good strength allow the elements to be used in load-bearing structures.

Description

Steel 20 G is used : for the manufacture of rivets for critical purposes after improvement; after carburization or cyanidation - piston pins, friction discs, spring pins, cam rollers, bolts, nuts, gears, worms and other parts with high surface hardness and wear resistance; without heat treatment - welded sub-engine frames, shoes, gussets; cold-deformed pipes intended for the manufacture of bushings for track links and piston pins for tractor engines; rolled strip used for the manufacture of automobile parts.

Note

High-quality structural manganese steel.

Types of rental

All of the above descriptions make steel grade 20 in demand in the manufacture of various types of rolled profiles. Rentals are obtained in two main ways:

  • Hot deformation. Apply to workpieces whose thickness is more than 4 mm. The disadvantage of this treatment is the formation of scale, which is an additional stress concentrator.
  • Cold deformation. Used for rolling workpieces up to 4 mm thick. The main advantage of this treatment is the additional strengthening of the alloy as a result of cold hardening.

The following products are produced from steel 20:

  • All-welded cold-rolled pipes. The sheets are rolled along a radius and then the edges are welded with a straight seam.
  • Seamless pipes. Produced by hot and cold drawing. Features of these pipes are increased strength compared to their welded counterparts and, accordingly, higher cost.
  • All kinds of profiles: rod, sheet, angle, channel, I-beam, wire, etc.

Interpretation of steel grade 20-PV

Interpretation of steel: Structural high-quality carbon steels are produced in converters or in open-hearth furnaces. The designation of these steel grades begins with the word “Steel”. The next two numbers indicate the average carbon content in hundredths of a percent, the numbers 20 indicate its content of about 0.2 percent, the letters PV indicate the hot rolling technology: cross-helical rolling occupies an intermediate position between longitudinal and transverse. This method is widely used to produce hollow pipe blanks. The cylindrical body being processed, passing between the rolls, rotates and at the same time makes a translational movement, that is, each point of the body (except for those located on its axis) moves along a helical trajectory.

Main characteristics and properties

When choosing a metal, much attention is paid to the main characteristics. We include:

  1. Hardness index. It can vary over a wide range and depend on whether heat treatment has been carried out. The hardness of steel 20 is maintained at 163 MPa. This is quite enough for the manufacture of various products that have high wear resistance.
  2. Density is also taken into account. Less dense materials are used to make products that will be lightweight. In the case under consideration, the indicator is 7.85 k/cm3.
  3. When considering the main characteristics, the yield strength and tensile strength are taken into account. They are considered when creating various projects. Metal St 20 can be improved in order to increase the characteristics of the material.
  4. The structure is characterized by the fact that it is not prone to temper brittleness and the formation of flakes.
  5. The heat treatment of steel 20 can significantly increase the service life of the product. It is carried out under certain conditions. For example, for forging, the structure is heated to a temperature of 1,280 degrees Celsius.
  6. If necessary, it is possible to weld parts.
  7. The impact strength of steel 20 determines that the metal is often used in the manufacture of shafts and other similar products that can be used to create elements used in the creation of various mechanisms. The elastic modulus is also taken into account when considering the basic properties of the metal.
  8. The average thermal conductivity coefficient determines that the structure can heat up quickly enough, but at the same time heat is removed with high efficiency.

Properties St 20

The mechanical properties of steel 20 determine the fairly wide distribution of this grade in mechanical engineering and other industries. As previously noted, technical characteristics can be improved by heat treatment or alloying. Restructuring the structure of the metal makes it possible to increase the hardness of the surface layer; by adding other chemicals, special qualities can be imparted, for example, corrosion resistance.

Download GOST 1050-2013

Heat treatment involves changing the structure due to exposure to a certain temperature. Critical points are selected depending on the characteristics of the chemical composition. The features of such a procedure include the following points:

  1. To provide the required impact, special equipment is used. Examples include blast furnaces and induction furnaces. For a long period, blast furnaces were used, but they are inferior to induction furnaces. The second version is suitable for installation in small workshops.
  2. Critical points are taken into account when carrying out the procedure under consideration. It is worth considering that they have already been identified for all metals, so there is no need to conduct the research again.
  3. The workpiece is heated to the required temperature, after which the initial restructuring of the structure occurs. The holding time is also an important indicator that must be taken into account, as is the heating rate.
  4. Attention is also paid to the cooling process. Workpieces that are too large are cooled in air, as problems arise in creating the required environment. For a long period of time, cooling was carried out in water, but this led to the appearance of scale. It is possible to ensure a higher quality of heat treatment by using oil as a cooling medium. However, when cooling in oil, one should take into account the high probability of toxic smoke formation and surface ignition due to high temperature.

Steel hardening colors

In many cases, surface defects are formed after heat treatment. That is why the procedure is used for workpieces or products that are created taking into account the allowance. After hardening, tempering is often carried out, which allows you to relieve internal stresses and reduce the likelihood of damage to the product when dropped or subjected to an impact load.

Properties

Grade 20 carbon steel has low brittleness. Thanks to its low Carboneum content it also:

  • little susceptible to the formation of flakes (internal breaks) during manufacturing;
  • plastic, easy to stamp;
  • excellent weldability;
  • has increased wear resistance.

However, it cannot be classified as a high-strength material. To increase surface strength, cementation is used - the upper layers of steel 20 parts are saturated with carbon.
