Abstract

Previously it was defined that geometrical dimensions of material worked have a significant impact upon the process of wave deformation strengthening, as at equal volumes of strengthened samples and processing modes there are observed different cards of micro-hardness in surface layers. 
 In the paper there are shown investigations of the impact of dimensions of samples made of different material kinds (steel 45, titanium VT 1-0, bronze BRAZh 9-4, aluminum alloy B-95) upon wave deformation strengthening parameters). The investigations mentioned were carried out for the first time on a test desk specially developed. Strengthening effectiveness was estimated according to micro-hardness distribution in a surface layer. The analysis of the results obtained allowed defining that in chosen modes of WDS takes place strengthening not only a face surface but a back one of the sample at that in the core of the sample an initial hardness of material is kept. The investigations carried out allowed defining the fact that at the increase of material thickness from 10 to 20 mm resulted in the growth of degree (ΔHμ) and depth (hμ) of strengthening at WDS of samples of steel 45 - by 24 and 32%, samples of bronze BRAZh 9-4 – by 22 and 21%, samples of titanium VT 1-0 – by 24 and 32%, samples of aluminum alloy B-95 – by 40 and 62%. The samples length increase from 50 to 100 mm is accompanied by the decrease of ΔHμ and hμ at strengthening: steel 45 – by 36 and 70%, bronze BRAZh 9-4 – by 27 and 43%, titanium VT 1-0 – by 24 and 32%, aluminum alloy B-95 – by 40 and 62%.
