At present, besides the conventional methods for strengthening (bulk hardening, treatment by high-frequency current) parts operating under high contact loads and elevated wear, methods of surface treatment by concentrated energy fluxes, including laser and electron-beam irradiation, are used. Treatment of the surface of parts made of tool steels by a focused beam in an optimum regime improves their hardness and wear resistance. The present work is devoted to investigating the properties of cold-rolling rolls refitted by electron beam treatment.
