Study of the Manufacturing Options for an Asymmetric Plate Made of 12X18N10T Steel

Abstract

The analysis of possible options for manufacturing an asymmetric plate of 12X18N10T steel is presented. A phenomenological model of damage accumulation was used to analyse the probability of metal micro - and macro - destruction. The results of FEM modelling of technological processes of plate manufacturing are presented. Due to these results were made the conclusions about feasibility of their application based on the metal damage calculation. The choice of a rational technology to produce a plate is justified, in which the greatest metal ductility reserve takes place at a dangerous point. According to the proposed scheme, an experimental batch of plates have been made. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
