This paper considers the method of carbidization of tungsten surface with the use of beam-plasma discharge, which was carried out in plasma-beam installation to identify the characteristics of the carbide approach. A distinctive feature of the implemented method is that it is closest to the processes that can cause surface carbidization during the operation of thermonuclear installations. This method allows you to change the parameters of the experiment to obtain a specific coating with specified characteristics. As a result of experimental work, it was found that tungsten semi-carbide W2C is formed at a retention time of 600 s at 1500 °C, and tungsten monocarbide WC at 3600 s.
