The article examines regularities of high-speed steel surface changes in the phase and structural states of during the electrolytic-plasma processing. It is determined that after modification by electrolytic-plasma influence on the surface of R6M5 high-speed steel formation of small pores, microdefects and fine inclusion. Surface modified layer consists of nitrogen austenite, nitrogen martensite and fine nitride particles.

Abstract Steel AISI 5135 surface layer modification carried out by high-cycle high-speed melting of the “film (Si + Nb)/(steel AISI 5135) substrate” system with an intense pulsed electron beam with an impact area of several square centimeters, have been implemented in a single vacuum cycle on the “COMPLEX” setup. The regime of the system “film (Si (0.2 μm) + Nb (0.2 μm))/(steel AISI 5135) substrate” irradiation with an intense pulsed electron beam (20 J/cm2, 200 μs, 3 pulses, 3 cycles) which makes it possible to form a surface layer with high thermal stability have been revealed. This layer is characterized by high hardness, more than 3 times higher than the hardness of AISI 5135 steel in the original (ferrite-pearlite structure) and wear resistance, more than 90 times higher than the wear resistance of the initial AISI 5135 steel. It is shown that the high strength and tribological properties of steel are due to the formation of the hardening phase particles (niobium silicide of Nb5Si3 composition).

Силумин (сплав алюминия с кремнием) является дешевым промышленным сплавом, обладающим хорошей коррозионной стойкостью, высокими удельными механическими свойствами и хорошими литейными свойствами, вследствие чего нашел широкое применение в современной промышленности (авиа- и машиностроение, приборостроение, судостроение и т.д.). Целью настоящей работы является анализ закономерностей преобразования структуры и фазового состава поверхностного слоя силумина заэвтектического состава (Al - 22 вес. % Si ), подвергнутого облучению интенсивным импульсным электронным пучком. Установлено, что облучение силумина импульсным электронным пучком (18 кэВ, 25 Дж/см, 200 мкс, 3 имп., 0,3 с) приводит к плавлению поверхностного слоя толщиной до 60 мкм, высокоскоростная кристаллизация которого сопровождается формированием субмикро- нанокристаллической многофазной структуры. Показано, что алюминий (твердый раствор на основе ГЦК кристаллической решетки) формирует ячейки высокоскоростной кристаллизации; на границах ячеек расположены наноразмерные частицы вторых фаз. Выполнен анализ трехкомпонентных диаграмм состояния системы Al - Si - Fe - Cu (основные элементы исследуемого силумина) и продемонстрирована возможность формирования в сплаве в равновесных условиях большого количества двух- и трехэлементных соединений. Методами дифракционной электронной микроскопии показано, что наряду с трехэлементными фазами в силумине образуются и фазы на основе четырех и, возможно, большего количества элементов. Silumin (an alloy of aluminum with silicon) is a cheap industrial alloy with good corrosion resistance, high specific mechanical properties and good casting properties. As a result it has found wide applications in modern industry (aircraft and mechanical engineering, instrument making, shipbuilding, etc.). The aim of this work is to analyze the regularities of transformation of the structure and phase composition of the surface layer of a hypereutectic silumin (Al - 22 wt % Si), subjected to irradiation with an intense pulsed electron beam. It was found that irradiation of silumin with a pulsed electron beam (18 keV, 25 J / cm, 200 μs, 3 pulses, 0,3 s) leads to melting of the surface layer up to 60 pm thick, the high-speed crystallization of which is accompanied by the formation of a submicro-nanocrystalline multiphase structure. It is shown that aluminum (a solid solution based on fcc crystal lattice) forms cells of high-speed crystallization; nanoscale particles of the second phases are located at the cell boundaries. Analysis of three-component state diagrams of the Al - Si - Fe - Cu system (the main elements of the studied silumin) demonstrated the possibility of forming a large number of two- and three-element compounds in the alloy under equilibrium conditions. It has been shown by diffraction electron microscopy that, along with three-element phases, phases based on four and, possibly, more elements are formed in silumin.

Electron beam source was applied to investigate the effect of current, voltage and the number of pulse on surface morphology evolution of high speed steel. It has been revealed that the same trend of the morphology can be acquired by varying different parameters because energy is the main influencing factor. Material own defects and electron back-scattering are the primary reason for the formation of the craters as a result of the eruption of phase boundary. Through the following self- and re-melting repairing, the craters become shallow and the holes disappear. And the planar stress wave justified by the multi-loop craters is the root of the appearance of micro-cracks and cavities.
