Material science of high-strength steels and alloys. Tutorial

The scientific basis for obtaining a high -strength state of materials by creating conditions governing the level of defectiveness of their structure. The mechanisms of hardening are given, due to the influence of deformation, as well as heat treatment using the effect of dispersion hardening and martensitic transformation. The conditions for the formation of a high -strength state due to the formation of nanostructures are considered. A physical description of the process of destruction of high -strength materials is given. The existing theories of destruction are represented by interaction with the external environment.
For students of machine -building and metallurgical specialties. It can be useful to engineering and technical workers of enterprises and research institutions
