The studies of the structure, phase composition and microhardness of 45; 40X13 and (25...30) CMT steels during hardening in mixtures containing boron, boron and silicon, as well as boron, silicon and aluminum, are presented. Boration was carried out at a temperature of 890°C for 3 hours. The results of the study show that as a result of boration, the layer thickness is greater than in the case of borosiliconizing and boro-alumino-siliconizing, however, the needles of the boride phases are sharper. By obtaining diffusive layers that differ in structure with different phase ratios FeB, Fe2 B, Fe3 Si, it is possible to significantly influence the resistance to brittle failure of the surface layers of parts that are operated under real conditions in friction pairs under periodic or constant shock effects. So, if the wear process proceeds without ever manifesting dynamic effects, then it is possible to recommend the use of the boration process – both for small-sized parts with CTR in powder mixtures using unpressurized containers, and large-sized parts - in coatings that are applied only to the wearing surfaces of the parts. If the wear occurs under conditions of a relatively low level of periodically manifested shock effects, it is possible to use the borosiliconizing process at (800...900)°C.

This article reviews experiments on the production of low-energy, high-current electron beams (LEHCEB) and their use for surface modification of materials. It is shown that electron guns with a plasma anode and an explosive emission cathode are most promising for the production of this type of beams. The problems related to the initiation of explosive emission and the production and transportation of LEHCEBs in plasma-filled diodes are considered. It has been shown that if the rise time of the accelerating voltage is comparable to or shorter than the time it takes for an ion to fly through the space charge layer, the electric field strength at the cathode and the electron current density in the layer are increased. Experimentally, it has been established that the current of the beam transported in the plasma channel is 1–2 orders of magnitude greater than the critical Pierce current and several times greater than the chaotic current of the anode plasma electrons. Methods for improving the uniformity of the energy density distribution over the beam cross section are described. The nonstationary temperature and stress fields formed in metal targets have been calculated. The features of the structure-phase transformations in the surface layers of materials irradiated with LEHCEBs have been considered. It has been demonstrated that in the surface layers quenched from the liquid state, nonequilibrium structure-phase states are formed.

The focus of new technologies on the formation of inhomogeneous distributions of heavy rare-earth metals (REMs) in hard magnetic Nd–Fe–B materials is of scientific importance to increase their functional properties, along with preserving existing sources of heavy REMs. This paper focused on the coercivity enhancement of Nd2Fe14B-based magnets by optimizing the microstructure, which includes the processes of grain boundary structuring via the application of a Dy3Co0.6Cu0.4Hx alloy added to the initial Nd–Fe–B-based powder mixtures in the course of their mechanical activation. We have studied the role of alloying elements in the formation of phase composition, microstructure, the fine structure of grains, and the hysteretic properties of hard magnetic Nd(R)2Fe14B-based materials. It was shown that the Dy introduction via the two-component blending process (the hydrogenated Dy3Co0.6Cu0.4 compound is added to a powder mixture) resulted in the formation of the core-shell structure of 2–14–1 phase grains. The efficient improvement of the coercivity of Nd(RE)–Fe–B magnets, with a slight sacrifice of remanence, was demonstrated.

Mechanical properties of specimens of Armco-Fe and a wide range of structural steels in various structural conditions have been studied. It has been found out that the use of different strengthening mechanisms leads to a decrease in plasticity parameters with different intensity at the uniform and localized tensile stages. Analysis of the tensile engineering and true curves showed that splitting a uniform stage into linear and power-law periods gave the best analytical description of experimental tensile curves with R2 = 0.99. The plasticity parameters on linear and power-law periods that are sensitive to changing the initial structure-phase state of the studied steels are proposed.
