Results of surface modification of the VT-23 titanium alloy by high flux of copper ions with an energy of 2 keV and ion current density of 3.5 mA/cm2 was studied. The dependence of the microhardness and penetration depth of ion as function of duration of ion treatment was determined. Structural-phase state of ion-modified of the VT-23 titanium samples surface layer was investigated by TEM and SEM. Microhardness was researched by nanoindentation method.

The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the use of titanium alloys within friction joints is restrained by their low resistance to wear while traditional methods of increasing their wear resistance are ineffective. The objective of this work was to study the processes occurring on the surface of VT6 titanium alloy samples when implanting with copper and aluminum ions, as well as in friction. Elemental composition, structural-phase state, mechanical and tribological properties of VT6 titanium alloy surface layers modified by aluminum and copper ions during the high-intensity ion-implantation process was being researched. As can be seen from the undertaken studies, the mode of the high-intensity ion-implantation process makes it possible to obtain ion doped surface layers of VT6 alloy containing TiAl, Ti3Al, Ti3Cu, Ti2Cu, TiCu finely dispersed intermetallic phases and a solid solution of aluminum and copper in titanium of composition varying in depth. The thickness of the ion-doped layer, the average grain size of the intermetallic phases (from 18 to 55nm) and their conglomerates (from 45 to 280 nm) increases with the increase in implantation dose from 2⋅1017 to 1.2⋅1019 ion/cm2 while aluminum implantation (from 0.42 to 2.1 μm) is in progress. It has been shown that the implantation of aluminum and copper ions into VT6 alloy leads to a considerable increase in its microhardness and wearability. Based on the research results, a conclusion on the positive effect of a structural-phase state of ion-doped titanium layers on their mechanical and tribological properties of VT6 titanium alloy has been drawn.

The paper presents the results of the analysis of the microstructure, mechanical properties, acoustic and magnetic characteristics of the metal of pipelines that are part of heat and power equipment, after long-term operation, made of structural and heat-resistant steels in the zones of localization of plastic deformation. Samples of 0.2 С steel and 0.12С-1Сr-1Mo-1V steel were studied in the initial state, as well as after operation for 219 and 360 thousand hours, respectively. As a result of the studies carried out for each sample, the phase composition was determined (qualitatively and quantitatively), and the following parameters of the fine structure were calculated: volume fractions of structural components of steel (pearlite and ferrite), scalar and excess ± dislocation density, curvature-torsion of the crystal lattice χ, amplitude of internal stresses (shear stress and long-range stresses). All quantitative parameters of the structure are determined both in each structural component of steel, and in general for each sample. The structure of the metal of all specimens after deformation before the formation of zones of stable localization of deformations consists of a ferrite-pearlite mixture, and for specimens after operation before fracture only of unfragmented and fragmented ferrite. Ferrite, which occupies the bulk of the material, is present both unfragmented and fragmented. For all samples, the ratios ≥ , χ = χpl, σL ≥ σd were calculated, which indicate whether there is a danger of the initiation of microcracks in metal samples. For specimens without operation and after operation without damage in zones of stable localization of deformations, these conditions are met, and for specimens after operation until destruction, they are not met. It was found that the structural-phase state in the zones of localization of deformations has a direct effect on the characteristics of non-destructive tests. Thus, for all investigated samples, the values of such parameters as the delay time of the surface acoustic wave, the attenuation coefficient, the amplitude of the received signal, and the intensity of magnetic noise in the zones of deformation localization were established.

It is shown that as a result of electrolytic plasma carburization is released from the solid solution carbides dispersed particles based alloy components, i.e. hardening occurs. Found that after processing the surface of the alloy samples 40CrNiAl modified form reinforced layers whose thickness depends on the time, temperature and processing of components of the electrolyte.

Transmission electron microscopy investigations were carried out to study the structural-phase state of ultra-fine grain (UFG) titanium with the average grain size of ~0.2 μm, implanted with aluminum ions. Implantation was carried out on MEVVA-V.RU ion source at room temperature, exposure time of 5.25 h and ion implantation dosage of 1⋅1018 ion/cm2. UFG-titanium was obtained by a combined multiple uniaxial compaction with rolling in grooved rolls and further annealing at 573 К for 1h. The specimens were investigated before and after implantation at a distance of 70-100 nm from the specimen surface. Concentration profile of aluminum implanted with α-Ti was obtained. It was revealed that the thickness of implanted layer was 200 nm, while maximum aluminum concentration was 70 at.%. Implantation of aluminum into titanium has resulted in formation of the whole number of phases having various crystal lattices, like β-Ti, TiAl3, Ti3Al, TiC and TiO2. The areas of their localization, the sizes, distribution density and volume fractions were determined. Grain distribution functions by their sizes were built, and the average grain size was defined. The paper investigates the influence of implantation on the grain anisotropy factor. It was revealed that implantation leads to the decrease in the average transverse and longitudinal grain size of α-Ti and decrease in the anisotropy factor by three times. The yield stress and contributions of separate strengthening mechanisms before and after implantation were calculated. The implantation has resulted in increase in the yield stress by two times.
