Nonmetallic inclusions play the role of stress risers in steels and alloys during their service lives. In this case, the nonuniformity of the strain field increases in the microstructure, and the diagram of the strain state of the microvolumes is altered. Microstrains were measured on flat 35KhN3MF specimen using photographically superposed small-base scaling grids. The microvolumes located on the whiskers of an inclusion are overloaded, i.e., they exhibit high degrees of microstrains and a rigid stress-strain state.
