Abstract

Surface layers containing oxides and carbides of titanium and yttrium are prepared by the electroexplosive doping of titanium with yttrium. The subsequent electron-beam irradiation leads to dispersion of the structure to a nano- and submicron state. The formation of two types of eutectics is revealed using scanning electron microscopy. The eutectics enriched in titanium and yttrium have a globular and plate-like shape, respectively. The formation of a modified surface layer (enriched in yttrium, carbides and oxides of titanium and yttrium) leads to a threefold increase in the microhardness of the titanium, a more than twofold decrease in the friction coefficient of the doped layer, and a more than 2.8-fold decrease in the wear rate.
