Abstract

The formation of a surface layer on low-alloyed steel during light-thermal treatment with a composite material based on Si3N4 ― Al2O3 was investigated. The working surfaces were studied using metallographic, x-ray diffraction, and electron-probe microanalysis. It was found that the corrosion-resistant phases Al2SiO5, (Fe, Cr)2O3, (Cr, Al) 2O3, and NiCrO4 formed in the alloyed layer, increasing its microhardness by 2-5 times and its corrosion resistance in sea water by more than two orders of magnitude.
