Abstract
A phenomenological model is constructed to describe the hardness of a compo site material based on stainless steels. The effect of the structure and th e content of dispersed inclusions of the hardness of such composites is stu died. The adequacy of the model is checked on rest specimens made of stainl ess steel Kh18N15 containing 0.6% carbon and 10-30% dispersed inclusions of chromium carbide. The model makes it possible to not only evaluate the rei nforcing effect of fine inclusions, bur also to optimize that effect.
