A gradient strengthening control procedure based on the numerical simulation of the combined local loading of the deformation zone in the form of an algorithm of actions pertinent to the prescription of operational parameters is described. A particular case in the form of the completed nomogram of the treatment parameters prescription for obtaining of strengthening predetermined by the depth and value is presented.
