Metallophysical Foundations of Nanostructuring Frictional Treatment of Steels

The following materials-science aspects of the frictional treatment (FT) of martensitic and austenitic steels with sliding indenters were considered in this study: mechanisms of nanostructuring of iron alloys upon FT under sliding-friction conditions; strengthening, resistance to thermal softening, wear resistance, and mechanical characteristics of steels subjected to frictional and combined thermomechanical treatments; application perspectives of the nanostructuring FT in innovative technologies.
