Abstract

The structure and properties of high-carbon steel cast pellets 2.0 - 2.2 mm in diameter obtained by dispersing liquid steel by a water jet under pressure are studied. The content of martensite in the cast pellets is determined and the microstructure after various variants of heat treatment is studied. The microhardness of the pellets is measured after each variant of treatment and the respective histograms are plotted. Compressive tests until failure are performed.
