High Temperature Mechanical Properties of the As-Cast Low Carbon Steels and Their Prediction

Abstract

High temperature properties of as-cast material, as reduction of area and strength, were tested in a temperature interval from 850 °C up to the melting temperature on measuring equipment provided with high frequency heating. The software for prediction of the high temperature plasticity development based on physical metallurgical and regression analyses was elaborated for the cast state of low carbon steels. The program was verified by using experimentally estimated values.
