Development of Methods for Steel Surface Deformation Nanostructuring

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Results are provided for studying deformation methods of steel surface nanostructuring and hardening with martensitic, pearlitic and austenitic structures. A new method of ultrasonic impact-friction treatment is considered. Combined methods of nanostructuring treatment (friction treatment + annealing) are proposed for a metastable Cr – Ni steel. The possibility is demonstrated of activating steel saturation with nitrogen during plasma treatment due to preliminary nanostructuring friction treatment.
