Synthesis of new material compositions with special properties under impact-dynamic conditions Original Research Article

This study examines the problems of creating new structural forms under impact-dynamic influence of ionic metal beams on a surface in order to expand the functional properties of iron construction materials. We investigated potential applications under various extreme environmental conditions (corrosion and radiation resistance, thermal stability) to evaluate physical and chemical processes that give rise to new properties which are different from equilibrium conditions for synthesized iron-based composites that include surface alloy compositions. The synthesis of composites was carried out in a vacuum installation equipped with an electroarc evaporator. Double surface iron composite alloys were synthesized using microplasma technology. Penetration depth of the ions of group IV–VI metals into iron was estimated using Monte Carlo methods to model binary collisions. This estimation was consistent with the results of the local X-ray spectrum analysis. Nuclear gamma resonance and local X-ray spectrum analysis was used to assess transformation of the structure of the alloyed materials into new structural forms, changing their properties.
