Abstract
This paper is concerned with the surface treatment of steels by a high power ion beam generated in microsecond plasma opening switch (MPOS). Investigated are modified surface properties of stainless steel, carb on steel, and pure iron whereby the optimal regimes for irradiation we re defined. An increase in microhardness up to 1.5-2 times was obtaine d. The numerical calculations and theoretical estimates of the ion bea m-matter interaction were also made.
