1. The strength increase produced in steel EP836 as a result of deformation in the unaged state is low; subsequent aging of the deformed steel intensifies the hardening effect. A 72% deformation with subsequent aging ensures a 400-MPa strength increase. 2. A higher level of strength can be achieved for steel EP836 when treated in accordance with the following regime: aging at 530°C + hydraulic pressing + aging at 500°C for 3 h. A 30% deformation during treatment in accordance with this regime makes it possible to increase the strength of the steel by 460 MPa with a relative elongation of more than 8%. 3. The strength and plasticity of steel EP836 can be increased as a result of treatment in accordance with the following regime: quenching from 650°C, hydraulic pressing, and aging at 500°C. In this case, a 30% deformation ensures a 210-MPa strength increase, and an increase in relative elongation of from 10 to 11.8%.
