Nanostructuring and Physical Properties of Metal-Ceramic Composites with a Different Content the Ceramic Components

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the microstructure and durability of hard-alloy plates treated with high-energy pulsed electron beam generated from the plasma of argon or xenon in steel cutting was conducted. It is shown that the choice of the plasma gas to generate electron from the cathode plasma-filled setting for pulsed electron-beam irradiation has a significant influence on the formation of structural-phase state in the surface layer and the durability of hard-alloy plates in steel cutting.
