Abstract
In the last 20–30 years the efforts of researchers and technologists have been directed at finding ways for practical realization of the high-strength state of steel. The results were mainly used for parts of special equipment, namely, spacecraft, aircraft, and submarines. However, it is no less important to realize the high-strength state in parts of conventional machines, where the consumption of metal is very high, and the utilization of this state will substantially reduce the mass of machines and mechanisms, improve their operating parameters. and decrease their cost. The article is devoted to bulk-surface hardening as a method of efficient strengthening of machine parts.
