Conclusions
-
1.
Studies of the parameters of electron emission, resistance to microplastic deformation, and special metallographic analysis indicate the formation of a surface layer with qualitatively new properties after final machining of steel 11Kh18M.
-
2.
After grinding, emission peaks are observed in the low-temperature range, evidently due to increasing microstresses at the boundary between (Fe, Cr)7C3 carbide and the matrix.
-
3.
Polishing leads to a more substantial change in the energy conditions of the surface layer of steel 11Kh18M, which is indicated by the number of electron emission peaks and their height.
-
4.
Steel 11Kh18M tempered at 420° for 5 h after quenching is characterized by a more stable surface layer than after tempering at 150° for 3 h.
