Modification of the surface of titanium during complex treatment with nitriding, oxidation and electroerosive alloying

Abstract

Titanium and its alloys, having high specific strength and corrosion resistance, can often not be used in critical components operating under friction, due to low wear resistance. In these cases, they resort to the application of wear-resistant coatings on the working surfaces of these assemblies.[1] Among methods of coating deposition using highly concentrated energy sources, electroerosive alloying (EEA) is distinguished, [2] which differs in that the applied coatings have a high adhesively to the substrate. Ultra-high heating and cooling rates make it possible to obtain a unique structure and properties of the formed coatings with high performance characteristics.
