Abstract

The needles from carbon steel “U10”, a details of high speed couple of friction “needle-thrust plate” of the gas centrifuge is investigated, in the initial, post-operational state and after irradiation by C+ ions different doses on the pulse-frequency “Raduga” accelerator. The purpose of this study is to increase the operability and service life of the responsible friction unit of the gas centrifuge. This purpose is achieved by mod-ification of the working sliding surface of the needle (which is a responsible part of the high-speed friction pair “needle-thrust plate”) by the pulse-frequency implantation with carbon ions. The dose of implantation (1018 cm−2 of C+ ions), was established, at which an optimal combination of mechanical and tribological properties of the working surface is achieved, which provides wear resistance increase during the operation of the friction pair. This method of surface treatment is recommended to use in case of operation of couple of friction “needle-thrust plate” for the purpose of increase in working capacity and a resource of operation of high speed couple of friction of the gas centrifuge.
