They undergo devitrification occurring under effect of external factors, which results in the decrease of their hydrolytic stability and the radionuclide release.
A unique set of physical–chemical, radiation–physical, and mechanical properties of ceramic radionuclide matrices fabricated in accordance with the SPS technology determines their excellent functioning characteristics, which was demonstrated in [10,11] and other works.
It was determined that high-temperature phase transitions during SPS sintering of NaA zeolite affected physical–mechanical properties of the fabricated samples of ceramic and glass ceramic matrices.
It has been revealed that the required physical–chemical and physical–mechanical matrix properties are achieved as a result of solid-phase changes during the SPS treatment induced by phase transitions, mechanical and deformation impacts, and thermal effects.

Metallographic analysis should determine the imperfection origin and decide if copper presence was the primary factor of it.
They didn’t affect the primary quality of the material but sheet handling was dangerous, Figs. 1 - 2.
Proposals for the next treatment Blast cleaning of affected surface was proposed.
This could be done because the mechanical properties of the material didn’t change radically.

As a result of the individual factors and their combinations a lot of production technology routes are feasible.
Although the number of affecting parameters is not so large, the determination of important parameters' values (intercritical temperature, cooling rate, temperature and duration of quasi isothermal stage) needs numerous pre-experiments before industrial production.
The paper describes a new simple method which can be applied for mapping the effect of technological parameters on the microstructural properties.
In addition to the increase of technological reliability the model can help in the prediction of structural and mechanical properties.
Taking into account the wide variety of chemical compositions of these types of steels and the wide range of affecting parameters, the developed method had to be as simple as possible.

Material Properties and Model Verification. 40Cr steel, which is often used as shaft material, is adopted for numerical simulation.
Material properties for 40Cr are: ρ (density) = 7820 kg/m3, E (elasticity modulus) = 210 GPa and υ (Poisson’s ratio) = 0.3.
The spindle speed affects the impact density.

The BLT converts electric energy into mechanical vibration which is scaled by a stepped horn.
The effect of temperature on the intensity of cavitation depends on the following two factors: one is gas solubility, the other is vapor pressure of the liquid.
The vapor pressure of water is unique factor which affects the intensity of cavitation.
When ultrasonic cavitation is employed to remove burrs from a part, cavitation bubbles collapse in the vicinity of the specimen which may cause the change of mechanical property (i.e., microhardness).
