Numerical Simulation of Thermal Processes Involved in Surface Alloying of Aluminum with Titanium by an Intense Pulsed Electron Beam

The temperature fields arising in a Ti film – Al substrate system and bulk Ti specimen irradiated with a submillisecond intense electron beam are calculated in the one-dimension approximation. It is found that the temperature fields in the irradiated bulk Ti specimen and Ti film – Al substrate system differ greatly. Electron beam irradiation conditions which allow solid-phase and liquid-phase alloying of aluminum with titanium are defined

Structure and Properties of a Titanium Film – Aluminum Substrate System Alloyed by an Intense Pulsed Electron Beam

The structure and properties of a Ti film – Al substrate system alloyed by an intense pulsed electron beam are studied. It is shown that electron beam melting of this system provides the formation of a multiphase submicrocrystalline structure with high strength and tribological properties in the surface layer. Irradiation modes, which allow an increase in the microhardness of the material and a decrease in its wear rate, are defined. Physical substantiation of this phenomenon is given.

An Impact of the Magnetic Field on the Fine Copper Structure under Creep Failure Conditions

An impact of a weak magnetic field on changes in the dislocation substructure of commercially pure copper exposed to stressing up to destruction under creep conditions was investigated. It was established that a magnetic field action on a metal exposed to creep resulted in the formation of a band dislocation substructure. In some cases grains with the dislocation chaos structure or cellular and grid substructures were revealed. In addition, quantitative differences in the dislocation substructure characteristics were also identified. A gradient nature of changes in the number of stress concentrators when moving away from the failure surface was defined. It was shown that the density of bend extinction contours characterizing the number of stress concentrators in the material decreased when moving away from the failure surface.

The deformation behavior of commercially pure titanium subjected to electron beam treatment

The effect of low-energy high-current pulsed electron beam treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of commercially pure titanium specimens is studied. Plastic deformation mechanisms of the specimens subjected to the electron beam treatment followed by uniaxial tension are demonstrated. The role of the interface between the hardened surface layer and the relatively soft parent metal in the slip band formation in the loaded specimens is revealed.
