The changes in structure and mechanical properties of hot-rolled eutectoid steel (0.76% C, 0.79% Mn, 0.32% Si) are studied after additional high-speed electrothermal treatment—normalization or quenching with high-temperature tempering. Steel after high-speed heating to 820°C was cooled at different rates to obtain pearlite structures or a mixture of the upper and lower bainites and tempered martensite. Such additional heat treatment improves the complex of mechanical properties of hot-rolled steel, most effectively after the formation of the bainitic structure. As found, the destruction of high-released steel after impact tests and static fracture toughness is accompanied by delamination with the propagation of a crack in a plane parallel to the rolling plane. This leads to anisotropy of the toughness. The static fracture toughness K1c of steel is slightly changing, depending on the orientation of the plane of fracture of the samples relative to the rolling plane, and its values remain at a sufficiently high level.
Key words: eutectoid steel, high-speed electrothermal treatment, mechanical characteristics under tension, impact strength, static crack resistance, anisotropy.
