Experiments on the influence of high-temperature plasma nanosecond pulse radiation, as generated in plasma focus device, on the W-Cu pseudoalloy, V-35at%Ti alloy, austenitic chromium-manganese 10Cr12Mn20W and 25Cr12Mn20W steels have been carried out. Features of damages, phase-structural transformations and chemical content changes in those materials under such irradiation were investigated.
