INTEGRATION OF THE MODIFIER INTO THE TECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS OF CHROME-MOLYBDENUM STEEL PRODUCTION TO ENHANCE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

The article presents a study on the development of technology for the modification of chromium-molybdenum steels in order to improve their mechanical and operational properties. The methods of introducing a modifier, the analysis of microstructural changes and their effect on strength characteristics are considered. Experimental data have demonstrated a significant increase in the strength, toughness and corrosion resistance of modified steels. Examples of the application of the developed technology in the energy, oil and gas and chemical industries are given. The developed technology opens up prospects for increasing the durability and reliability of structural materials that meet modern industrial requirements.
