Marukovich Y.I., Usherenko Y.S., Usherenko S.M. Dynamic modification of aluminum and its alloys
Modification of aluminum and its alloys is done by alloying and volumetricreconstruction of the structure. Modification in the solid state to the depths of tens and hundreds of millimeters can be done in the mode of socalled superdeep penetration, which allows forming the structure of fibrous composite material and substantially changing the composition of reinforcing fibers. As a result, the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of the massive metallic solid body change. The advantage of such an approach is a high performance (fractions of seconds) of the process of micro-particles penetration and synthesis in local fibrous zones of isotopes, alloying elements and metastable compounds.
Key wor:Super-deep penetration, high pressure zones, high-energy particles, aluminium and aluminium alloys.
