Using X-ray structural analysis and transmission electron microscopy of thin layers we have studied the mechanism of heat-affected zone formation in as-hardened steel irradiated by a low-energy microsecond high-current electron beam. It has been found that the above zone consists of three characteristic layers. We have analysed the conditions of formation of this layers using thermal calculations.
