MODIFICATION OF SURFACE LAYER OF HYPEREUTECTIC SILUMIN BY HIGH-INTENSITY PULSED ELECTRON BEAM
The results of the analysis of the elemental and phase composition, the defect substructure, strength and tribological characteristics of the hypereutectic composition silumin in the molten state and after irradiation with high-intensity electron beam are presented. The formation of the modified surface layer with thickness of up to µm, having increased strength and tribological characteristics was demonstrated as a result of irradiation.
