In this work, the change in the mechanical and microstructural properties of the material exposed to elevated temperatures was investigated in order to determine the variable and temperature-dependent strength parameters. The article presents the results obtained during the uniaxial tensile test of the samples (including modulus of elasticity, yield strength, and tensile strength) under variable thermal conditions. The heating process took place in a modern furnace using T3 lamps in the temperature range up to 1100°. The MTS extensometer was used for the measurement.
