Electron-Ion-Plasma Modification of a Hypereutectic Al-Si Alloy details theoretical and experimental research and computer simulation of structural phase transformations in AlSi10Mn2Ni Silumin on different scale levels under electroexplosion alloying, electron beam processing and electron-plasma alloying at the nanolevel in order to create new materials. The authors summarize and analyze more than 10 years of research on the electron-ion-plasma effect on strength properties and structure-phase states' transformations of hypoeutectic Silumin.

Key Features:

• Details physical and mathematical models of mechanisms of surface layer hardening under conditions of varying energy effects
• Offers insights into improved strength characteristics of Silumin
• Explores optimal processing modes for increased strength and improved tribological characteristics

This book is a valuable resource to researchers and engineers involved with the modification of light alloy surfaces for the automotive and aeronautical industry.
