Abstract Ion-plasma saturation of the surface of machine parts and mechanisms with gas elements (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon) is currently one of the most effective and widely used methods of surface hardening of metal products for various purposes in the industry of developed countries. The aim of this research is to develop a complex method for modifying the surface layer of AISI 310 steel, combining irradiation with an intense pulsed electron beam and subsequent nitriding in the plasma of a low-pressure gas discharge. As a result of the studies performed, the optimal parameters of modification were revealed, which make it possible to increase the hardness of the surface layer of steel by more than 11 times, relative to the hardness of the initial material, and 8 times, relative to the hardness of steel irradiated with a pulsed electron beam. In this case, the wear resistance of the steel exceeds the wear resistance of the original and irradiated material by more than 100 times. It has been established that the high strength and tribological properties of the modified steel are due to the formation of a two-phase (iron nitride and chromium nitride) layered nanoscale structure in the surface layer.

Ионное азотирование является одним из наиболее распространенных способов поверхностного упрочнения деталей и инструмента. Цель настоящей работы - выявление и анализ закономерностей преобразования структуры и свойств поверхностного слоя высокохромистой нержавеющей стали, подвергнутой низкотемпературному азотированию в плазме газового разряда низкого давления. Установлено, что насыщение азотом (793 К, 3 час.) аустенитной высокохромистой стали 202318 в плазме газового разряда низкого давления сопровождается формированием в слое толщиной (55 - 60) мкм структуры пластинчатого типа с чередующимися пластинами аустенита и нитрида железа (поперечные размеры пластин не превышают 10 нм), микротвердость и износостойкость которой превышают в 6,5 раз и более чем в 400 раз соответствующие характеристики исходного состояния. Ion nitriding is one of the most common methods of surface hardening of parts and tools. The purpose of this work is to identify and analyze the laws governing the transformation of the structure and properties of the surface layer of high-chromium stainless steel subjected to low-temperature nitriding in a low-pressure gas discharge plasma. It was found that the saturation with nitrogen (793 K, 3 hours) of austenitic high-chromium steel 20X23H18 in a low-pressure gas discharge plasma is accompanied by the formation of a plate type structure with alternating plates of austenite and iron nitride in a layer (55 - 60) µm thick (transverse plate sizes do not exceed 10 nm), the microhardness and wear resistance of which exceed the microhardness of the initial state by 6,5 times, wear resistance - more than 400 times.

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).

The paper reports an analysis of the effect of high current pulsed electron beam(HCPEB) on microstructure transformations and wear resistance of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. HCPEB treatment with 2.5 J /cm2 energy density leads to the formation of “halo” centered on primary Si, composition homogeneity, the formation of supersaturated solid solution of Al and grain refinement of top melted surface layer. The wear resistance of 15 pulse-treated Al-17.5Si and Al-20Si alloys is drastically improved by a factor of 6.5 and 2, respectively. The increase of hardness in modified surface layer has a positive effect on wear of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.

Surface modification of 40Cr steel by high current pulsed electron beam has been investigated . The pulsed times of HCPEB was changed from 1 to 25 to prepare different specimens. Surface microstructures and section microstructures after HCPEB irradiation were detected by using metallurgical microscope, SEM and X-ray diffractometer. It is shown that crater defects were found on the surface after the irradiation of HCPEB and the density of craters will decrease with increasing pulses times. When treated by 27Kev accelerating voltage, with increasing pulse times, the particles located in surface layer were obviously refined .The surface roughness, hardness, wear properties and corrosion resistance were analyzed after irradiation of HCPEB. The wear resistance and corrosion resistance were obviously enhanced after 10 pulses treatment.

AbstractThis paper reports, for the first time, an analysis of the effect of high-current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB) on a hypoeutectic Al–10Si alloy. The Al–10Si alloy was treated by HCPEB in order to see the potential of this fairly recent technique in modifying its wear resistance. For the beam energy density of 3 J/cm2 used in the present work, the melting mode was operative and led to the formation of a “wavy” surface and the absence of mass primary Si phase and eutectic microstructure. The surface nanocrystallization of primary and eutectic Si phases led to the increase in macro-hardness of the top surface layer, and the wear resistance was drastically improved with a factor of 4.

High current pulsed electron beam (HCPEB), a novel high-power energetic beam technology, has been developed as a useful tool for surface modification of materials. In the present work, the effect of HCPEB treatment on microstructure and wear resistance of Al-15Si and ZK60-1Y Mg alloys was investigated. The results show that a supersaturated solid solution of (Al) and (Mg) is formed on top surface of melted layer induced by rapid heating and cooling during HCPEB process. In addition, the melted layer of approximately 5~11μm thickness is obtained on the ZK60-1Y Mg alloy surface. Wear resistance of Al-15Si and ZK60-1Y Mg alloys are significantly improved after HCPEB treatment. It is demonstrated that HCPEB technology has a good application future in enhancing surface properties of Al-Si and Mg alloys.
