Interpretation of the 20X grade: a simple designation says that this is structural steel with 0.20% carbon and a high chromium content, but since there is no number after X, this indicates that there is less than 1.5% chromium.
The use of 20X steel and heat treatment of products: dies and templates of various types are made from case-hardened steels, and in the case of the manufacture of tools of long length and complex configuration, steels 15X, 20X, 15ХG are used, hardened after carburization in oil.
When manufacturing a measuring tool that is not subject to grinding, after rough machining it is necessary to carry out improvement (hardening with high tempering). The improved tool produces a clean surface during machining and significantly reduces deformation during hardening.
The tool, made from low-carbon steel, is carburized. The cementation depth, depending on the thickness of the tool, ranges from 0.4 to 0.6 mm for small tools and up to 1.2-1.3 for large ones.
Heating for hardening is carried out both in chamber furnaces and in salt and lead baths. Tools of complex configurations made of high-carbon and alloy steels, when heated in baths, are heated by immersing them twice or three times in molten salt. Cool in hot oil or molten salt, which significantly reduces the degree of deformation.
Reduction of leads is achieved by hardening only the working surfaces of the calibers.
The measuring tool is tempered within 120-200°. The purpose of tempering is to relieve internal stresses that arise during hardening. These stresses are one of the reasons for the appearance of cracks during grinding, and are also the main reason for spontaneous changes in the size of gauges during storage (natural aging). The phenomenon of natural aging is associated with a very stressed state of the structure of hardened steel.
The tetragonal martensite that appears as a result of quenching, which has a distorted lattice, is unstable and tends to transform into a more stable form of cubic martensite. This transition entails a change in the volume of the atomic lattice, and consequently, deformation of the measuring instrument. At room temperature this transition occurs very slowly, over several months and even years, and at elevated temperatures over several hours or tens of minutes. In factory practice, the tempering of a measuring instrument is usually carried out in two stages: first, low-temperature tempering is carried out after hardening within 150-180° for 1-2 hours, then artificial aging after grinding by heating at a temperature of 120-160° for 2-5 hour.
For aging tools made of carbon steel, a lower temperature limit is used, and for alloy steel, an upper limit is used. The best aging environment is an oil bath. Prolonged heating in an electric oven at 150° causes a tarnished color to appear.
In some factories, to maintain dimensions, the measuring tool is subjected to cold treatment.
The hardness of the measuring tool should be within the range Rc = 56-64.
When heat treating threaded rings, the practice of hardening a test ring is justified. Before the end of turning a batch of rings, one ring is submitted for hardening and the degree of deformation determines the allowance for finishing the entire batch. It is important that the entire test ring hardening regime, such as the temperature of the heating and cooling medium and the holding time, is recorded and repeated without any changes for the entire batch.
Plug gauges made from alloy and high-carbon steel that have lost their size can be restored by tempering them in an oil bath at a temperature of 210-230°. The diameter increases due to the decomposition of retained austenite.
Ring gauges, both smooth and threaded, are restored using the so-called landing method in the following sequence: 1) the ring is clamped in a device; 2) the ring with the device is heated in a lead bath in such a way that only the surface layer of the outer diameter is heated (the time can be determined experimentally); 3) the ring and the device are cooled.
This method is greatly simplified when the ring is heated with high frequency currents. The surface of the outer diameter is heated in a ring inductor of a high-frequency installation and care is taken that a tarnish color higher than yellow does not appear on the working part.

Alloy steels. Classifications of alloy steels
Elements specially introduced into steel in certain concentrations in order to change its structure and properties are called alloying elements , and steels are called alloyed .
In structural steels, alloying is carried out in order to improve mechanical properties (strength, ductility). In addition, the physical, chemical, and operational properties change.
Alloying elements increase the cost of steel, so their use must be strictly justified.
Alloy steel has valuable properties that carbon steel does not have, and does not have its disadvantages. The use of alloy steel increases the durability of products, saves metal, increases productivity, simplifies design, and therefore becomes crucial in advanced technology.
For example, steel 11Х11Н2В2МФ
C = 0.11%, C r = 11%, Ni = 2%, W = 2%, Mo and V = 1% rest Fe.
— alloyed, low-carbon, high-alloyed, high-quality, quiet, structural, deformable, chromium-nickel-molybdenum, seven-component.

Casting alloy steels.
In accordance with GOST 977-88, they are designated according to the same rules as carbon cast steels.
Also, at the end of the names of casting steels the letter L is given, for example, 15L, 20G1FL, 35 KhGL, etc.
For the manufacture of castings, low-alloy, medium-alloy and high-alloy steels are used.
But alloy steels have poor casting properties.
8. By composition: nickel, chromium, chromium-nickel, chromium-nickel-molybdenum and so on (a sign is the presence of certain alloying elements).
9. By the number of alloying elements:
— three-component (iron, carbon, alloying element);
- four-component (iron, carbon, two alloying elements) and so on.
Combinations of letters and numbers give characteristics of alloy steel. If there are two numbers in front of the brand, they indicate the average carbon content in hundredths of a percent. One number in front of the mark indicates the average carbon content in tenths of a percent. If there is no number in front of the brand, this means that it contains either 1% carbon or higher than 1%. The numbers behind the letters indicate the average content of this element as a percentage; if there is no number behind the letter, then the content of this element is about 1% (no more than 1.5%). The letter A at the end of the grade, both in carbon and alloy steel, denotes high-quality steel, i.e. steel containing less sulfur and phosphorus.
This marking system covers most existing alloy steels. The exception is certain groups of steels, which are additionally designated by a specific letter:
R - high-speed,
E – magnetic,
Ш – ball bearings,
E – electrical.
