Modeling of quality characteristics of the surface layer hardened by free-moving indenters under rotating electromagnetic field by Valery A. Lebedev, Anatoly A. Kochubey, Irina V. Chumak

“…The resulting expression describing the experimentally established fact that the main contribution to the formation of the quality parameters of the hardened layer is made by the initial continuous coating of the treated surface with plastic prints is obtained. An analytical functional model establishing the surface layer quality parameters behavior depending on the multiplicity of covering the surface by the shock-pulse impact of the free-moving indenters is proposed. …”
