Description
Summary:A phenomenological model is constructed to describe the hardness of a composite material based on stainless steels. The effect of the structure and the content of dispersed inclusions on the hardness of such composites is studied. The adequacy of the model is checked on test specimens made of stainless steel Kh18N15 containing 0.6% carbon and 10-30% dispersed inclusions of chromium carbide. The model makes it possible to not only evaluate the reinforcing effect of fine inclusions, but also to optimize that effect.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
