Abstract

The features of phase and structural transformations in composite materials based on systems of immiscible components Al – Be, Al – Be – Mg, Fe – Cu, Fe – Cu – Pb under the influence of concentrated heat sources — electric arc, electron and laser beams — are considered. It is shown that when materials of the Al – Be, Al – Be – Mg systems are exposed to an electric arc plasma and an electron flow, they are melted and subsequently cooled by grain grinding, formation of a zone of thermal influence and crystallization of the resulting new structures and phases. In zone of thermal influence, the enrichment of the aluminum matrix with Be particles is observed due to the thermal diffusion processes of their movement. When plasma is exposed to an arc discharge, pulsed and continuous laser radiation, as well as the flow of electrons on the composition Fe – Cu, Fe – Cu – Pb, a change in the morphology of the near-surface layer is observed: the irradiated material in the melt zone is exfoliated and in the process of crystallization the stratified phases are fixed in a solid state. The mechanism of stratification formation is associated with the limited solubility of the elements that make up the composition in the liquid and solid states.
