Abstract

Melting and crystallization of eutectic non-metallic inclusions was investigated. It was shown that under laser action the initial structure of eutectic inclusion-steel matrix boundaries transits into unstable equilibrium high-energy condition that cause development of the dissipation processes connecting with aspiration of system inclusion-matrix to the state with minimum of free energy. In the result of the system eutectic inclusion-matrix transits to the state of unstable equilibrium which determines structure and properties of laser-quenched interphase boundary. Processes of melting, fusion and dissolution of eutectic non-metallic inclusions and also of the melting of steel matrix play the great role in transformation of inclusion-matrix boundaries under laser action.
