The paper discusses the problem of increasing the performance properties of aluminum alloy D16 for possible more efficient use in the fields of transport engineering. A property modification tool is a high current relativistic electron beam. The irradiation occurs in a vacuum. The peculiarities of the layer distribution of characteristic zones resulting from irradiation are investigated. Metallographic and fractographic analysis is carried out, and microhardness values are measured.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
