“…Secondary phases (intermetallides, carbides, nitrides, oxides, and others) hamper the growth of grains and provide conditions for the formation of a thermally stable structure. The employment in the capacity of oxygen carriers of the low-stable oxides (Fe 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , and others) or low-stable nitrides (Fe 4 N, CrN, and others), which are easily dissolvable in the matrix of alloys at «cold» deformation under mechanical alloying, permits the development of novel advanced technologies for obtaining heat-resistant steels and alloys strengthened by special oxides (Y 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , and others) [9,31,58,59] and nitrides (Cr 2 N, TiN, AlN, and others) [5,10,11,14,33]. The surface layers modified by deformation-those of rubbing machine parts-can have increased wear resistance, which gives the opportunity to purposefully design new wear-resistant dispersion-hardenable materials with particles difficult to dissolve upon deformation.…”
