Abstract

On the basis of complex metallophysical studies, surface-modified layers (electron microscopy, spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, calorimetry, durometer analysis), we obtained new data on nanoscale composition within the surface-modified layer, on its mechanical properties, phase composition, which determines functional properties. This allows us to find ways of their purposeful formation for different operating conditions. On the basis of experimental data of X-ray analysis of the TiNiHf alloy, we calculated energy consumption, the theoretical strength. As a result of the simulation, we constructed generalized diagrams of energy intensity and theoretical strength of the ternary alloy Ti-Ni-Hf and compiled their relationship equation.
