Abstract
Surface quenching using concentrated heat sources and travel speed of the source needed to heat a layer of the required thickness and hardness are considered. The method, equipment and operational parameters have been developed for argon-arc surface quenching of the inside surfaces of barrels. Quenching of the full-scale barrels for the service life tests has been conducted.
Keywords: argon-arc quenching, surface, hardening, artillery when
