Effect of Extreme Impacts on the Structure and Properties of Alloys

Abstract

This paper presents the results of research on the effect of extreme impacts on metals and alloys. This research was performed over the last 25 years in the physical metallurgy laboratory of the Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences. For the purpose of this study, the following extreme impacts are considered: strong magnetic fields, laser heating, shock-wave loading, severe plastic deformation by dynamic channel-angular pressing and shear under pressure, and frictional surface treatment by dry friction.
