The effect of a constant magnetic field during the crystallization of a hypereutectic aluminum alloy on its structure in the solid state investigated. It is shown that the superposition of the magnetic field positively affects the structure of the alloy. A uniform distribution of the doped phases and eutectic in the volume of the alloy is observed. The phase of primary silicon significantly changes the size and the shape. It is established that the influence of an external magnetic field reduces the dimensions of the shrinkage defects. In general, the effect of an external magnetic field on the structure of the alloy leads to an improvement in the operational properties. The obtained measurement results showed more stable hardness values over the cross section of the sample in comparison with the alloy that was not processed.

Abstract: It was dedicated to solution of scientific and technical problem to increase the level of physical and mechanical and operational properties of the surface of steels by forming strengthened layers diffusion boriding and complex saturation boron and copper in a magnetic field.

It was investigated the structure, phase and chemical composition, thickness diffusion boride layers obtained after boriding and complex saturation boron and copper with simultaneous action an external magnetic field (EMF) on solid alloy T5K10. It was established that the application of an external magnetic field allows to intensify the process of diffusion saturation hard alloys boron and by 2 hours chemical – thermal treatment with simultaneous action EMF get such thickness diffusion boride layer which is formed by 4 hours chemical – thermal treatment without EMF. It was found increase microhardness diffusion layers formed on the hard alloys on 2 – 2.5 GPa (30 – 30.5 GPa) that is associated with a decrease areas of coherent scattering and as a result increase operating parts that work in conditions of intensive wear.
