A method is proposed for applying titanium carbide composite coatings by means of combined technology of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) and electric-spark alloying (ESA). It is established that use of a Ti + C + Ni powder mixture as SHS reagents, applied to a component surface before ESA, makes it possible to obtain hard ultrafine coatings 0.1 -0.3 mm thick with a titanium carbide particle size from 0.1 to 5.0 ìm.
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.
