Abstract

The efficient use of low-carbon and low-alloy structural steels in Russia depends on the degree of structure fineness. The most acceptable method of providing the fine-grain structure is the recrystallization annealing. The main purpose of annealing is to build a uniform structure providing for better workability of steel products and higher level of mechanical properties thereof. It becomes possible as a result of recrystallization in solid state to correct such a significant defect of steel structures as the coarse-grained structure obtained as a result of overheating. The possibilities of passive flux-gate test method have been studied to check shaping the fine-grained structure in the course of recrystallization annealing.
