One of the most perspective methods of hardening is friction stir processing. The study shows processing methods based on the friction stir principle. The results of hardening of tool steels 1089 (Fe97%, C0.8%), 3343 (Fe80%, C0.9%, Cr4%, Mo5%, W6%, V2%), 440C (Fe78%, Cr18%, C0.95%) are presented. As a result of hardening, it was possible to increase the microhardness of carbon tool steel by more than 3 times, and also to achieve a decrease in the average grain size in the treated area by more than 10 times in relation to the base material. It is proposed to use the FSP in the manufacture of cutting tools from tool steels to increase physical and mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
