Development of Technology and Research of Method of Electric Hydropulse Hardening of Machine Parts

The article presents studies of dynamic processes that occur during an electrohydropulse discharge. A method and design of a device for hardening parts by an electrohydropulse high-voltage discharge in a liquid has been developed. The proposed method allows to obtain a depth of the hardened layer up to 30 mm with compressive stresses throughout its depth and a uniform microscopic relief of the working surface.
