Abstract

UDC 621.9.048.4

 

A detailed analysis of studies concerning the electrospark alloying of the surface of titanium and its alloys to improve   their   physicochemical   properties  and  performance characteristics has been carried out. It has been shown  that  the  electrospark   alloying  method  makes  it possible to enhance some important characteristics of titanium, such as wear resistance, heat resistance, and corrosion stability.

 

Keywords: electrospark alloying, energy of discharge, erosion, mass transfer, formation of coating, wear, hardness, heat resistance, phase transformations.
