Surface Structure Modification and Hardening of Al-Si Alloys

More about the book

This reference explores the hardening of material surfaces using concentrated energy flows resulting in the nanostructuring of surface layers. The authors demonstrate how this method achieves a reduction in plastic deformation of the surface, and a more uniform distribution of elastic stresses near the surface during operational use. Inhaltsverzeichnis Analysis of modern methods of surface modification of light metals using external energy sources. Investigated materials, experimental procedures, description of equipment and scientific approaches. Structural-phase transformations and changes in the properties of an Al-Si alloy upon exposure to a pulsed multiphase (Al-Y2O3) plasma jet. Studies of the properties, phase composition and defective substructure of the surface layers of Al-Si alloys after an intense pulsed electron beam. Changes in structural phase states and properties of surface layers of Al-Si alloys after electron-ion-plasma effects. Use of intense pulsed electron beams for surface treatment of aluminum-based alloys.
