This work is devoted to the study of the influence of technological parameters of electrolytic-plasma surface quenching (EPQ) on the structure and surface properties of samples of bandage steel 2. In the electrolytic-plasma treatment, we performed the cathode mode in an electrolyte containing an aqueous solution of 20% carbamide (NH2)2CO and 20% sodium carbonate Na2CO3, on the installation of EPO with appropriate technological processing conditions. According to the electron-optical, X-ray phase studies, the phase composition of the steel after the EPQ was determined this differs from the initial one by the formation of cementite and iron oxides on the surface of the samples. It is established that the microhardness of the bandage steel 2 after the EPQ during heating for 4 seconds increases 2.4 times in comparison with the initial state.
