Structure and Hardness Variations Through Section of Hot-Forged Pipe Billet from PT-1M Alloy

Abstract

In this paper structure and hardness variations through the section of the hot-forged pipe billet from the PT-1M alloy were studied by the methods of macro, micro, X-ray structural and durometric analyzes. A coarse nonuniform structure through sections of the pipe billet and the relationship between the structure and the hardness were established.
