Fabrication and Study of New Electrode Materials with Additives to Improve Self-Fluxing Mechanical Efficiency of Electrospark Alloying

CZU 621.09

The article considers the aspects of raising the efficiency of the process of electrospark alloying on the mechanised installation by tungsten carbide electrode materials with self-fluxing additives. Technological modes and parametres of electrospark alloying of nanostructured coatings are defined, formation of nanostructures in a surface layer of 100 nm is established by the atomic force microscopy.

Keywords: electrospark alloying, process efficiency, electrode materials with self-fluxing additives, nanostructuring of the surface layer.
