Abstract

A mathematical model is proposed for the process of modifying the metal surface layer by refractory nano-size particles with the aid of the pulse laser radiation, which accounts for the surface tension dependence on the presence of surface-active substance in the melt. Numerical modeling has been carried out, from the results of which the influence of the surface -active admixture on the character of forming flows, distribution of particles of the modifying substance in the metal, and the melt crystallization process have been estimated.
