The technology of diffusion saturation of austenitic steels by chromium and nickel in the medium of low-melting liquid metal melts is shown. The saturation temperature was up to 1050°C, and the duration was up to 8 hours. It was found that it is the most effective to apply coatings according to the technological scheme: pre-carburization-diffusion metallization – final carburization. It was found that the coating consists of 4 layers. The surface layer has a thickness of up to 5 mkm and a microtuberance of up to 19500 MPa. The second layer, up to 12 mkm thick, has a microhardness of up to 7500 MPa. The third, up to 50 mkm thick, has a microhardness of 2300 MPa. In the fourth layer, up to 150 mkm thick, the microhardness gradually decreases from 2300 MPa to the microhardness of the base. At the same time, the total thickness of the coatings is up to 200 mkm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
