Abstract

The low wear resistance of titanium and its alloys limits their use in machine building. Methods for the surface hardening of titanium and its alloys, which tend to enhance their antifriction properties. are of significant interest in this respect. Laser alloying is one of the most promising methods of improving the strength of the surface. In this study. we investigated the characteristic features of the structural formation of the surface layers of titanium alloy VT3-1 during laser alloying from dross coatings containing a mixture of boron carbide B4C and chromium.
