Abstract Preliminary experimental studies of the possibility of increasing the microhardness of the surface layer of the material by the method of wave thermodeformational hardening on the example of austenitic steel class 12X18H10T are carried out. Comparative studies on the hardening of the material with and without heating were also carried out. The possibility of a significant increase in the maximum microhardness in the range from 25 to 50% at a depth of up to 0.6 mm, depending on the hardening mode, in comparison with the deformation treatment in the “cold” state is established. The area of technological modes providing the maximum increase of microhardness in the surface layer is revealed, in particular, the temperature of the treated surface should be in the range from 200°C to 400°C. At the same time, the achieved microhardness values exceed the initial one by 1.8…2.2 times, depending on the processing modes. It is also found that when choosing rational processing modes, the combined wave thermal strain hardening can significantly increase the hardening depth to 4.2 mm of the surface layer compared to the initial state. To establish the possibility of improving the performance of combined processing requires additional research.

The article discusses the prospects of using combined thermal deformation surface processing to improve the performance properties of metal products. There is a new method of thermal deformation surface hardening (shot peening (SP) followed by laser heat treatment (LHT)) for tools and crown housings operating under difficult conditions proposed. For carrying out experimental studies, flat samples of 30KhGSA steel and steel 45 were selected. Preliminary hardening and finishing with static or dynamic methods of surface plastic deformation were carried out on a modernized installation based on a DYNAMITE 2800 numerical control machine, and SP was implemented on industrial equipment. Laser surface hardening of the samples was carried out in single passes with a sample moving speed of 300...500 mm/min with a laser beam diameter of 7.3 mm and a laser power of 1 kW using the ROFIN-SINAR DY 044 technological unit. The optimal regimes of surface hardening are determined under the deformation action of a gas-dynamic flow with solid particles and thermal action by a laser beam to obtain maximum values ​​of hardening depth and hardness. In particular, with SP, the gas-feed stream feed pressure is 0.5 MPa, the processing time is 1 min, regardless of the type of material. The optimal laser beam power is 1 kW at a sample travel speed of 300 mm/min. There are the results of experimental studies of the change in the hardening depth as a function of time and pressure after SP, the speed of movement of the treated sample from carbon steel 45 and medium alloyed steel 30KhGSA after LHT and combined SP+LHT, and also the distribution of microhardness over the depth of the hardened layer presented. It is revealed that the combined SP+LHT of 30 KhGSA steel at optimal modes forms 1.5 times (1.3 mm) greater depth of the strengthened surface layer in comparison with LHT, while providing the surface layer hardness of ~5400 MPa.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the change in residual stresses in the surface layer of steel samples taking into account the technological heredity effect on the value and sign of residual stresses. An installation of combined processing was developed. Combined processing consists of sequentially performing electromechanical processing and diamond smoothing. All areas of the samples were studied—after machining (i.e., in the initial state), after electromechanical processing, and after diamond smoothing. The research shows that the sign and value of residual stresses are significantly affected by the combined processing modes. The main parameters of the surface layer are formed at the final stage of the combined processing–diamond smoothing. This paper gives recommendations on the use of combined processing for power plant parts.

The paper presents the results of experimental studies on the impact of impulse shot peening parameters on surface roughness (Sa, Sz, Sp, Sv), surface layer microhardness, and the mean positron lifetime (τmean). In the study, samples made of the Inconel 718 nickel alloy were subjected to impulse shot peening on an originally designed stand. The variable factors of the experiment included the impact energy, the diameter of the peening element, and the number of impacts per unit area. The impulse shot peening resulted in changes in the surface structure and an increase in surface layer microhardness. After the application of impulse shot peening, the analyzed roughness parameters increased in relation to post-milling values. An increase in microhardness was obtained, i.e., from 27 HV 0.05 to 108 HV 0.05 at the surface, while the maximum increase the microhardness occur at the depth from 0.04 mm to 0.08 mm. The changes in the physical properties of the surface layer were accompanied by an increase in the mean positron lifetime τmean. This is probably related to the increased positron annihilation in point defects. In the case of small surface deformations, the increase in microhardness was accompanied by a much lower increase in τmean, which may indicate a different course of changes in the defect structure consisting mainly in modification of the dislocation system. The dependent variables were subjected to ANOVA analysis of variance (it was one-factor analysis), and the effect of independent variables was evaluated using post-hoc tests (Tukey test).

<p>Recent trends towards performance-based fire designs for complex and critical structures have posed questions about the fire resilience of bridge infrastructure. There are little-to-no code requirements for bridge fire resistance and practitioner guidance on the subject is limited. Research on the fire performance of cable-supported bridge structures is scarce and knowledge gaps persist that inhibit more informed fire protection designs in a variety of bridge types. There have been few numerical or experimental studies that investigate the fire performance of steel stay-cables for use in cable-supported bridges. The thermal response of these members is critical as cable systems are highly dependent on the response of individual members, such as in the case of an anchor cable for example. The study herein examines the thermal response of several varieties of unloaded steel- stay cable during exposure to a non-standard methanol pool fire and the implications for the structural response of a cable-supported bridge. Experimental thermal strain data from fire tests of various stay-cables is used to inform high-level insights for the global response of a cable-supported bridge. Namely, the effects of cable thermal expansion on the overall cable system is approximated.</p>

The mechanisms of increasing the resistance of copper samples treated with a high-energy beam of nitrogen ions to adhesive wear during friction together with a copper counterbody in an argon atmosphere are studied. It was shown that the increase in wear resistance is complex and is associated with the action of mechanisms such as solid-solution hardening, grinding of copper grains, precipitation of the finely dispersed CuN3 phase, increase in the density of dislocations and internal stresses of the second kind in the surface layer . The maximum increase in wear resistance and microhardness (~ 4 and ~ 2.6 times, respectively, compared with the original copper) is observed about ion fluence of ~ 9×1017 ion/cm2. A further increase in fluencies leads to a decrease in wear resistance and microhardness due to the enlargement of the pores formed in the surface layer of copper as a result of implantation of nitrogen ions.

The article raises the problem of the need to take into account real dimensions when they are strengthened by wave deformation. The fact is that in carrying out initial calculations the overall dimensions of the models under study are quite often neglected. On the one hand, this makes it possible to significantly simplify the calculation of the flat model, and on the other - to exclude consideration of the influence of geometric dimensions of the sample on the process to be followed. This is especially relevant in the study of shock systems in which wave processes lie. The effect of the final samples on the hardening process should not be excluded. This is because the elastic-stic deformation pattern has its own features. Hardening is carried out due to transmission of energy in the form of deformation wave, which is transformed on all gras with variable acoustic rigidity, including on boundaries, which are final dimensions of the analysed sample. Preliminary studies have developed a significant effect on the process of wave deformation hardening of geometrical dimensions of the material to be treated, since at equal volumes of strengthened materials and processing modes different distribution of microassay in the surface layer is observed. The established algorithm of further research of the given direction will allow not only to reveal the regularities of through strengthening of samples of different shapes and sizes, but also to establish the possibility of contactless de-formation strengthening of the sides of the sample opposite to the impact of the HRD, which have a complex profile shape, as well as the possibility of contactless deformation strengthening of internal hard-to-reach surfaces.


A technique using Newton’s rings for mapping the oil film of lubricated point contacts is described. A theoretical value for the film thickness of such contacts in elastohydrodynamic lubrication is derived. The experimental results give the exit constriction predicted by previous theory but never shown in detail. The comparison of theoretical and experimental oil film thicknesses, which is satisfactorily accurate, gives strong evidence for a viscous surface layer some 1000Å thick. This film agrees with the known ‘lubricating power’ of the various oils tested.

This paper discusses the results of experimental studies on the selection of the repair mixture compound for recreating the surface layer of the historical brick of the 18th century architectural monument “Commercial Bank” in Arkhangelsk. According to the research results, it was found that the historical brick has a relatively higher density and increased calcium content than the modern one. The characteristics of the surfaces of the analyzed materials based on the component indicators of specific surface energy showed that the brick of 1859, characterized by the highest degree of destruction, has the maximum value of the polar energy component. This fact may indicate a greater hydrophilicity of the surface in relation to atmospheric water and, as a result, a more intensive degradation process. It is established that the composition of the repair mixture with the addition of brick crumbs in the amount of 50 % has a value of the polar part of the surface tension equal to similar parameters for historical bricks (1786 and 1859) after their preliminary priming. The use of this mixture to recreate the surface layer of the brick will allow atmospheric water to pass freely through the repair compound and the body of the brick, without concentrating on the interface and without causing its destruction and detachment when drying.
