The Mechanical Properties of the Pipe Steel after Rolling at the Plate Mill

A study of the mechanical properties of the finished metal products was carried out. All types of metal products are subjected to continuous quality control, both on the production output at the manufacturer of billets, and on the production entrance at the consumer of metal. Control subject are: strength characteristics (tensile strength σв and yield stress σ02 and the characteristics of plasticity (relative elongation δ and relative necking ψ). The pipe steels have another important controlled characteristic: the impact toughness КСU-60. All the test methods are the destroying ones and are characterized by high complexity. The task of reducing the types of tests, the introduction of a comprehensive indicator of product quality is an urgent technical task. The purpose of this work is to study the regularities of changes in the indicators that determine the quality of the sheet metal from the pipe steel.
