The paper reports an analysis of the effect of high current pulsed electron beam(HCPEB) on microstructure transformations and wear resistance of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys. HCPEB treatment with 2.5 J /cm2 energy density leads to the formation of “halo” centered on primary Si, composition homogeneity, the formation of supersaturated solid solution of Al and grain refinement of top melted surface layer. The wear resistance of 15 pulse-treated Al-17.5Si and Al-20Si alloys is drastically improved by a factor of 6.5 and 2, respectively. The increase of hardness in modified surface layer has a positive effect on wear of hypereutectic Al-Si alloys.

Alumincoating was prepared on a Ni-Cr-W-Al nickel-base superalloy by pack cementation, the effects of Al content and aluminizing temperature on coating formation were investigated. Coating microstructures were investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopes, EDS and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The results showed that the coatings prepared at 800°C in the powders with 15%, 30% and 99% Al were different. NiAl3 coating was obtained in the conditions of aluminizing temperature of 700°C, 750°C, 850°C and of Al content of 99%.
