RESUMO

The present study focuses on the effect of various degrees of plastic deformation generated by cold radial forging on the mechanical properties and the fracture morphology of 32 CDV 13 steel. The cold forging percentage was evaluated for 17.45, 33.30, 42.0 and 46.47 %. The microstructural analysis of the steel shows tempered martensite. The tensile strength, yield strength and hardness were found to increase with the increase of cold forging percentage due to the energy stored in the material during cold forging. For higher cold forging percentage, the toughness of the material was decreased according to the reduction of absorbed energy obtained during deformation. Fractography of the Charpy impact specimens shows a surface roughness and dimple pattern for the steel as was acquired and for 17.45 and 33.3 % of cold forging; while for 42 and 46.47 % of cold forging a cleavage fracture pattern was observed.
