Macrostructure and pollution	In the macrostructure of bars of steel Р12Ф2К8М3 should not be podnasadochnogo of rychlosti, residues shrinkage, delamination, bubbles, cracks. When assessing the allowed macrostructure: Central porosity - no more than points 1 - for bars with diameter or thickness up to 50 mm; not more than a score of 2 for bars with diameter or thickness greater than 50 mm to 100 mm inclusive. Fracture of steel should be homogeneous, fine-grained. Carbide inhomogeneity in steel depending on the size of the cross section shall not exceed the standards (maximum permissible score of carbide heterogeneity): up to 20 mm - 2 points; over 20 up to 40 mm - 3 points; St. 40 to 60 mm. - 4 points; over 60 to 80 mm - 5 points; over 80 mm to 100 mm - 6 points. Carbide inhomogeneity of the steel is controlled by the method and scale №1 GOST 19265 on samples thermally treated under the regime: Heating for hardening up to 1230-1250 °C to + Leave for hours at 680-700 °C. Depth bezoperatsionnogo layer is determined according to GOST 1763. In the control according to the method of Sadovsky samples subjected to heat treatment regime: Heating for hardening up to 1230-1250 °C + Quenching in the first bath at 180-190 °C (extract 10 min) + annealing in the second bath at 540-560 °C (10 min exposure).
Microstructure	Depth bezoperatsionnogo layer of steel must not exceed the side of 0.5 mm. plus 1% of the diameter of the circle, the sides of the square, the thickness of the strip.
Particularities of production of goods	Steel on the other 14-1-2966-80 supplied annealed with a hardness of not more than HB 269. The red hardness of steel should provide a hardness of not less than HRC58, after a four-hour tempering at the temperature of 640 °C.
