Study of Magneto-Thermal Surface Reinforcement of Polymeric Materials

The results of magneto-thermal surface reinforcement of polymeric materials are presented on the example of plates made of high-density polyethylene and polypropylene. As part of the experiments, iron powder with an average particle size of 60 μm was applied to the plate samples under the influence of magnetic and thermal fields. An increase in the mass of samples was established (on average by 15–20% of the mass of the original sample) and the basic dependencies between the main parameters of the magneto-thermal reinforcement process were determined.
