Technological properties of steel 20X13

Forging temperature
The beginning 1250, the end 850. Sections up to 150 mm are air-cooled, 150−400 mm requires low-temperature annealing with one subcooling.
Weldability
Limited weldability. Welding methods: RTD, ADF under submerged arc, ADF and CTS. Heating and heat treatment are used depending on the method of welding, type and purpose of construction.
Machinability
In the hardened and tempered state at HB 241 and σB = 730 MPa Kυ of solid steel = 0,7, Kυ b.st. = 0,45.
