Tsvetkov A.S., Knyazyuk T.V., Teplukhina I.V., Novoskoltsev N.S. Analysis of dynamic and post-dynamic recrystallization kinetics in new radiation-resistant austenitic steel
Obtaining the required grain size and grinding it for steel with an austenitic structure is possible only at the stage of hot plastic deformation as a result of recrystallization processes. In this article, the threshold deformations of the beginning of dynamic recrystallization and the kinetics of metadynamic and static recrystallization are determined for the new reactor steel depending on the temperature (900…1200?C) and the deformation rate (10-2…10-3 s-1). Maps of dynamic and post-dynamic structure-forming processes that can be used for setting the forging mode for large-sized ring blanks made of new radiation-resistant austenitic steel on a hydraulic press are constructed.
Keywords: Core baffle, austenitic steel, dynamic recrystallization, static recrystallization, grain size.

Rudenko S.P., Valko A.L., Sandomirskii S.G. About applicability of steel 20MnCrS5 for gears of the domestic mobile machines
Evaluation of applicability of 20MnCrS5 steel for gears of transmissions of mobile machines, manufactured according to European standard EN 10084 was carried out. Experimental and virtual simulation of hardenability of the steel according to the updated method was realized. The assessment of the applicability of 20MnCrS5 case-hardening steel for gears of the domestic mobile machines was made by the criterion of obtaining the cross section of the tooth structures with a hardness 32 HRC for core, 50 HRC for semi-conversion zone, 61…63 HRC for the diffusion layer excluding other physical and mechanical properties of steel. It is established that at the content of alloying elements close to the maximum limit, the use of this steel is possible for gears with a module up to 10 mm.

Vereschagin M.N., Tselueva S.N., Tseluev M.Yu. Modification of surface layers of metal parts by pulse laser processing
Pulse melting of small volumes of metal on the surface provides homogeneous liquids (melts), which, after crystallization, can fix the structure of a liquid with unique properties. The presence of three energy input ranges for pulsed laser surface treatment (ILPO) has been established. At an average level of energy input, a process of laser surfacing of the material occurs, while a high adhesive bond between the coating and the workpiece is fixed. The deposition of an amorphized iron-based alloy coating on a metal base of St3, 45 20X13 steels begins at a laser radiation density on the treatment surface of 1800…2000 W/mm2, and alloying at 3500…4000 W/mm2. With ILPO, the laser exposure zone (ZLV) has a layered structure – the fusion zone (ZO), the heat-affected zone (HAZ), and the source material zone.
Keywords: Pulsed laser surface treatment, microstructure, microhardness.
