Low-temperature nitriding of steels is usually carried out in the temperature range of development of reversible temper brittleness. The holding time at these temperatures significantly exceeds the holding time during normal tempering, which can negatively affect the properties of steel. The article considers theories that explain the processes occurring in steels in the temper brittleness temperature range. It may be concluded that views linking the embrittlement of steel with alloying elements such as nickel in its content are not confirmed by the experiments; at the same time ideas based on classical views about the diffusion of chemical elements explain the processes in steel better.

The conditions of formation of the nanocrystal state of the structure in carbon steels are considered in the article. The methods of research and experimental data on the microstructural structure of the strengthened parts of the working bodies of agricultural machinery made from carbon steels of the lowered hardenability are given. It is shown that pulsed quenching and low tempering provides of steel products with fragmented nanocrystal structure of the martensite. Fragmentation of martensite grains in carbon structural steels during heat treatment of parts significantly increases their mechanical characteristics.

To increase comprehensive properties of cylinder steel, high-pressure cylinder steel 30CrMo-M was developed on the basis of steel 30CrMo. Tests and researches were made on factors which influence heat treatment properties, such as chemical composition, quenching temperature, and tempering temperature. The results indicated that the 30CrMo-M steel has stable chemical composition, its strength rises with increase of carbon equivalent, and thus it has better relativity. When concentration of quenching liquid is 5%, yield ratio of the steel can be guaranteed to be low, thus safety of cylinder is improved. Tempered between 570°C~622°C, the strength of the steel is increased and plasticity rises with increase of temperature. When tempered at 570°C, inner wall structure of cylinder contains tempering martensite, the strength is high but the plasticity is low. When tempered between 610°C~615°C, temper brittleness happens very easily and toughness is on the low side. The best heat treatment technology is: quenched at 930°C with temperature holding for 40 minutes and quenching liquid concentration as 5%, tempered at 580°C with temperature kept for 90 minutes. The microstructure treated by this technology is tempered sorbite with higher strength, plasticity and toughness.
