Alititing of surfaces of structural medium carbon steels in vacuum PVD-methods
The processes of superhigh-speed vacuum formation of continuous aluminide layers on structural AISI 1020 and AISI 5135 steels have been studied. The optimal conditions and modes of aluminizing have been determined. The structure, composition, and hardness of diffusion layers formed under the action of a low-energy high-current electron beam on the surface of structural steels with a 1-μm-thick Al coating preliminarily deposited by the vacuum-arc method have been studied. The main characteristics (elemental composition distributions, microhardness, morphology and thickness) of a protective diffusion coating on steel samples are experimentally determined. The possibility of changing the elemental composition to a depth of 30-60 µm from the surface as a result of a thermal pulsed electron-beam action with a duration of 50 µs is shown. It is established that the obtained layers, depending on the type of steel, have a high hardness in the range of 6000-9500 MPa.
