Forging of High-Manganese Steel Crossing

Аннотация

The thermoplastic characteristics of high-manganese steels with different phosphorus and sulfur contents were investigated. The zero-ductility temperature and plasticity-temperature range of the high-manganese steels were reduced significantly with increase in phosphorus or sulfur content. The relationship between the initial forging temperature of the high-manganese steel and the content of phosphorus and sulfur can be expressed as T_ift = 1200 – 1530w_S – 1650w_P. The final forging temperature is 900°C, and the heating rate during the forging of the high-manganese steel crossing must be slow. The lifetime of the forged high-manganese steel crossing was almost doubled compared with conventional cast high-manganese steel crossing.
