The paper reveals regularities and mechanisms of structure-phase states and properties formation of of differentially hardened 100-m rails of DT 350 category after the passed tonnage of 1411 mln. tons brutto. The formation of highly defective surface layer with nanosize (40–50 nm) grain-subgrain structure of pearlite colonies and submicrocrystal (150–250 nm) structure grains with structure free ferrite is detected. The change of hardness, microhardness, crystal lattice parameter, microdistorsion level, scalar and excess dislocation density on the rails head section are analyzed. The possible mechanisms of cementite plates’ transformation at extremely long-term operation are discussed.

Extruded Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy samples with grains aligned parallel to the extrusion direction were subjected to high-pressure annealing. The effects of annealing pressure on the microstructure, hardness, and corrosion properties (evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)) were investigated. Phase analysis showed the presence of MgZn2 and α-Al phases, the MgZn2 phase dissolved into the matrix, and its amount decreased with the increasing annealing pressure. The recrystallization was inhibited, and the grains were refined, leading to an increase in the Vickers hardness with increasing the annealing pressure. The corrosion resistance was improved after high-pressure treatment, and a stable passivation layer was observed. Meanwhile, the number of corrosion pits and the width of corrosion cracks decreased in the high-pressure annealed samples.
