Abstract

It is shown that, of the Cr3C2-Fe cermets investigated, KKhZh-50 alloy is the best alloying electrode material. Alloying should be performed under “soft” conditions (Epulse ≤−2 J). The quality of the reinforced layer depends on the pulse energy and the base and electrode materials. The continuity of the layer increases and its surface roughness and thickness decrease with increasing pulse energy. Anode erosion and alloyed layer formation are affected by the secondary structure on the electron surface. For KKhZh-50 alloy its formation decreases anode erosion and the cathode weight gain, while for KKhNF-15 alloy, by contrast, it increases them. It is proposed that, to increase the corrosion resistance of such coatings (by about two orders), 65G steel should be alloyed in two stages, first with KKhZh-50 cermet and then with nickel.
