Oi. Volchok et al., STRENGTHENING OF STEEL 06KH16N15M3B BY DRAWING AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURES, Metal science and heat treatment, 35(11-12), 1993, pp. 702-705
We studied the strengthening of steel 06Kh16N15M3B by drawing at room
temperature (300 K) and at 77 K. The article shows that deformation at
subzero temperatures brings about greater strengthening than at room
temperature. Of decisive importance here is the formation of low-tempe
rature strain martensite.
