A Study of the Surface Layer of Steel 45 Subjected to Electromechanical Treatment with Pulsed Deformation

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The structure, the hardness, and the thickness of the hardened surface layer of normalized steel 45 are studied after electromechanical treatment (EMT) with dynamic application of the forming force. The effect of the density of the current of the pulsed EMT on the structure, the microhardness and the thickness of the hardened surface layer is determined. The properties of the hardened layer of the steel are compared to those obtained after the traditional static EMT. The possibility of additional hardening of the metal is demonstrated.
