Aspects of obtaining electrodes with a coating containing tungsten nanopowder are considered along with their modes of utilization for surfacing purposes. The rheological properties of an aqueous alkaline solution of potassium silicate used for applying tungsten nanopowder to electrodes are determined. The stability of the surfacing process is investigated in terms of the structure of the metal deposited with coated electrodes. It is confirmed that coating electrodes with tungsten nanopowder can be used to derive a stable process of transferring droplets of electrode metal into the melt bath and modifying the deposited metal by influencing the viscosity of the coating of combined electrodes.
