В Саратове создали лазер для термоупрочнения металла

New technology increases material wear resistance by 1.5-3 times

The Inject Research and Production Enterprise (NPP) has developed a PLD-6 technological laser to increase metal wear resistance. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Energy of the region.

The new laser has no analogues in Russia or abroad.

With its help, Saratov engineers increase the wear resistance of metal in the hardened zone by 1.5-3 times. The surface hardness of parts made of 40X steel, after laser hardening, increases from 12 HRC to 58 HRC.

The development is planned to be used in agriculture, mechanical engineering and the railway industry. The new metal hardening technology will increase the service life of parts (drive shafts, gears) and the edges of cutting tools (plows, harrows, knives).

Earlier, www1.ru reported that in Tomsk synthesized ultra-pure titanium diboride.
