FIELD: use of electromagnetic energy for treating metal objects. SUBSTANCE: object is irradiated with pulse electromagnetic radiation in microwave- frequency region (from 30 MHz to 3000 GHz) with flux power density on object at least 1000 W/sq.cm. Such a treatment, unlike treatment with powerful pulse ion beams, may be performed under atmosphere pressure which considerably simplifies object replacement problem. EFFECT: simplified procedure. 2 dwg
