AbstractIn this paper, the effects of high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) on the microstructure evolution of casting HPb59-1 (Cu 57.1 mass%, Pb 1.7 mass% and Zn balance) alloy were investigated. The results showed a “wavy” surface which was formed with Pb element existing in the forms of stacking block and microparticles on the top surface layer after treatment. Nanocrystalline structures including Pb grains and two phases (α and β) were formed on the top remelted layer and their sizes were all less than 100 nm. The disordered β phase was generated in the surface layer after HCPEB treatment, which is beneficial for the improvement of surface properties. Meanwhile, there was a large residual stress on the alloy surface, along with the appearance of microcracks, and the preferred orientations of grains also changed.

This paper reviews some recent results concerning surface integrity of materials processed with two important developing techniques: high speed machining (HSM) – here applied to the difficult case of Ti alloys – and low energy high current pulsed electron beam (LEHCPEB) surface treatment of steels. The effect of the processing parameters on the development of microstructure, texture and residual stresses is detailed for modifications occurring both at the surfaces and sub-surfaces.

High current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) is now becoming a promising energetic source for the surface treatment of materials. When the concentrated electron flux transferring its energy into a very thin surface layer within a short pulse time, superfast processes such as heating, melting, evaporation and consequent solidification, as well as dynamic stress field induced by an abrupt thermal distribution in the interactive zone impart surface layer with improved physicochemical and mechanical properties. The present paper reports mainly our experimental research work on this new-style technique. Investigations performed with a variety of constructional materials (aluminum, carbon and mold steel, magnesium alloys) have shown that the most pronounced changes of composition, microstructure and properties occur in the near-surface layers, while the thickness of the modified layer with improved mechanical properties (several hundreds of micrometers) is significantly greater than that of the heat-affected zone due to the propagation of stress wave. The surfaces treated with either simply several pulses of bombardment or complex techniques, such as rapid alloying by HCPEB can exhibit improved mechanical and physicochemical properties to some extent.

When high current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) transferring its energy into a very thin surface layer within a short pulse time, super fast processes such as heating, melting, evaporation and consequent solidification, as well as dynamic stress induced may impart the surface layer with improved properties. In this paper, HCPEB modification of 45# carbon steel with working parameters of electron energy 25 kV, pulse duration 3.5µs, and energy density 4 J/cm2 was investigated. The microstructures of modified surface were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) of type JSM 5310 and transmission electron microscope (TEM) of type H-800. It is found that the modified surface layer can be divided into three zones: the white layer or melted layer of depth 3 to10µm, the heat and stress effecting zone 10 µm below and about 250 µm, then matrix, where a nanostructure and/or amorphous layer formed in the near-surface region. It is proved that the whole treatment process is not complex and cost-effective, and has a substantial potential to be applied in industries.

Low energy high current pulsed electron beam (LEHCPEB) is a fairly new technique for surface modifications, including hardening, alloying and formation of metastable phases as well as improvement in wear and corrosion properties. The present contribution gives some new insights on the microstructure modifications encountered at the top surface of HCPEB treated metals. In particular, the potential of the technique for structure modifications associated with the use of the pulsed electron beam under “heating” and “melting” conditions are highlighted.
