Abstract

The effect of glow and corona discharges on the strength and physicochemical properties of steels has been considered. It has been found that the thickness of the hardened layer and the negative potential of the surface of the steel samples depend on the current intensity and the time of treatment in a corona discharge. The variation of the surface potential correlated with changes of the strength characteristics of steel. It has been shown that variation of the strength characteristics of steel after its treatment in a corona discharge was connected with a rearrangement of the defect structure. The variation of the strength characteristics of steel after its treatment in a glow discharge was due to implantation of nitrogen atoms in surface layers of the material.
