Conclusions
-
1.
We proposed a method of diffusional saturation with powders, using metallic magnesium to create an oxidation-free atmosphere in the furnace and to activate the surface of the metal and the powder saturated with beryllium. Metallic magnesium can be used for diffusional saturation with other elements.
-
2.
Beryllium saturated layers have a high hardness.
-
3.
Diffusional layers on technical iron, the ZhS6-K alloy, and molybdenum have a high heat resistance in air.
