The use of the technology of combined electromechanical processing, consisting of a high-temperature plastic deformation mode, when tungsten carbide powder is implanted into the surface of carbon steel, and a high-temperature thermal hardening mode, during which tungsten carbides are partially dissolved in the austenite of steel up to the limit of its saturation with tungsten, provided a gradient wear-resistant three-layer highly dispersed structure as a result of the decomposition of supercooled austenite oversaturated with tungsten. The results of tribotechnical tests of cylindrical specimens by the normalized method are presented.
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.
