Abstract
At the present time, a great deal of experience has been accumulated i n laser and electron beam treatment of fast-cutting steels. The effect iveness of plasma hardening has also been established. However, suffic iently complete data is unavailable in the literature on the effect of plasma heating on the structure and functional properties of fast-cut ting steels for different combinations of bulk and plasma heat treatme nt. Accordingly, in this work we have investigated the properties of R 6M5 steel after plasma surface hardening.
