Cold hardening of steels under conditions of inhomogeneous stress and action of electric current pulses

  • Published:
Strength of Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility to assess cold hardening of steels in the presence of stress concentration by means of structural-strength factors used in the engineering practice is considered. A modified system of structural-strength factors is proposed, which allows one to take into account the effect of individual factors (cryogenic temperature, stress concentration, action of electric current pulses) or their combination on the efficiency of steels in the case of inhomogeneous stress.
