The results of the development of the flux CaO-Li2CO3-B2O3, operating in the oxidizing environment of the furnace, are shown. Flux is used to protect the melt from oxidation and removal of oxides from the coated sample surface. The use of this flux in open furnaces made it possible to apply high-quality nickel coatings with a thickness of 18 μm, which is comparable to the thickness of coatings obtained in vacuum furnaces in argon atmosphere. The negative effect of flux components on the sample surface was noted during prolonged contact under the conditions of the oxidizing environment of the furnace. Practical application of the research results will provide high-quality diffusion coatings on metal products. In addition, economic efficiency is maintained through accessibility of the equipment and flux components.
