Composition of Surface Layers of Titanium Alloy after Electrospark Alloying

  • TITANIUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOYS
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The effect of the regime of electrospark alloying (ESA) on the thickness, hardness, and phase composition of the alloyed hardened layer on the surface of specimens of titanium alloy VT1-0 is studied. The thickness of the layer depends considerably on the parameters of the ESA process, and the hardness level is determined by the phase composition.
