Research of the influence of wave strain hardening on the corrosion resistance of a material

The results of a research of the influence of wave strain hardening (WSH) on the corrosion resistance of a material are presented. The influence of the grain size of the metal, its rotation angle, the magnitude and depth of hardening of the surface layer of the part after WSH on the corrosion resistance of the material is analyzed. It is established that in order to increase the corrosion resistance of the material of the part using WSH, it is necessary to ensure a degree of hardening of more than 30 %.
