Description

45L steel is used: for the manufacture of castings working parts for wear; machine beds, gears and gear rings, brake discs, clutches, casings, rollers, sprockets and other parts, which are requirements of high strength and high wear resistance under static and dynamic loads; casting parts mining and metallurgical machinery; casting investment casting for aircraft industry group I — loaded items with the specific requirements for density and mechanical properties: high load brackets, sealed the housing, the frames of gyroscopes, stabilizers, etc. and group II — non-loaded and lightly loaded parts, rings, flanges, fittings, leaking instrument cabinets, etc.

Technological properties

Name The value
Weldability Difficult weldability. Method of welding: SMAW. Requires heating before welding and subsequent heat treatment.
Склонность к отпускной хрупкости Tend not.
Flock-sensitive sensitivity not sensitive.
Machinability In the annealed condition with 200 Kn NV TV.SPL.=1,1 Kn b.St.=0,7.
Welding defects Welding defects of castings after cutting is carried out with preliminary and attendant heating to 150-200 °C. for semi-automatic welding in carbon dioxide environment used welding wire SV-08G2S diameter of 2 mm at a current of 380-420 A. Welding defects by manual welding is done with electrodes Э50А type (GOST 9467) brand SSSI-13/55. Before mechanized welding of large defects of the edge samples, it is recommended to coat the electrodes of these brands. The thickness of the facing layer of 8-10 mm. After welding should slow cooling with rate 50 °C/h.
