It was experimentally found that during the passage of the impact momentum through multi-indentor impact system the distortion of energy transfer in the deformation zone is influenced by such factors as the number of indentures (waveguides), their shape and distance position relative to the impact axis. Thus, the increase in the number of indentures in the impact system, on the one hand, leads to a decrease in the proportion of energy of the impact pulse per an isolated indenter, and on the other hand allows to increase the total value of energy transfer in the deformation zone compared to one-indentor scheme. The distance increase between impact axis and indentors placement regardless of their number and form, leads to a decrease in the proportion of energy transmitted to the deformation zone.

Using the finite element model of the shock system, the efficiency of the shock pulse energy transfer to the deformation zone under wave strain hardening is studied. It was established, that conducting research from the point of view of the efficiency of transferring the shock pulse energy to the deformation zone, and from the point of view of the design of the shock pulse generator, is advisable on shock systems in which the contacting ends of the striker and the waveguide have equal diameters. Studies showed that with ratios 1<L1/L2<10; 5<L1/d1<10, an increase in the fraction of the shock pulse energy transmitted to the deformation zone n exceeds 80% for the striker and waveguide with diameters of 30, 48, 60, 90 mm. According to the adopted optimization criteria, the geometrical dimensions of the striker and the waveguide are determined, which ensure the transfer of the largest amount of shock pulse energy to the deformation zone.

The parameters of wave deformation are described. The results of studies of the effect of the diameter of the instrument used for wave deformation of flat surfaces on the quality parameters of the hardened surface layer are presented. A significant increase in depth and degree of hardening after processing has been established, and the parameters of the tool and the technology of its application to obtain the most effective results have been determined.
