Abstract
This work are presented the research results of pulse plasma treatment influence on the phase composition, hardness, roughness and element composition of coatings on the bases of Fe-TiB2-CrB2. The Fe-TiB2-CrB2 coating was deposited by detonation method. The following pulse-plasma treatment was used to modify the structure and properties of the surface layers of the sprayed coating. The results of mechanical experiments showed that the hardness of Fe-TiB2-CrB2 coating increased after the treatment. On the basis of the X-ray analysis, it has been established that the increase of coating hardness is connected with phase transformations in a surface layer, in particular, with formation of oxide phases and increase of carbide particles quantity.
