Di. Anpilogov et al., INFLUENCE OF LASER TREATMENT ON THE MARTENSITIC CONVERSION AND STRENGTH OF N30 ALLOY, Russian metallurgy. Metally, (5), 1997, pp. 112-116
The influence of pulsed laser treatment on the structural state and st
rength of N30 alloy and the martensitic transformation in its surface
layer is investigated. Laser treatment in fusion conditions leads to c
onsiderable increase in the yield point, comparable with the hardening
of this alloy on account of phase cold hardening in gamma-alpha-gamma
transformations. Stabilization of the austenite with respect to direc
t martensitic transformation on subsequent cooling in liquid nitrogen
is observed.
