Abstract

This scientific review is devoted to the mechanism of the anode heating in aqueous electrolytes and its application for the heat and thermochemical treatment of steels and titanium alloys. The heating and electrochemical peculiarities of the anode hardening are considered, the technological possibilities for improving the operational properties using nitrohardening, carbonizing, or oxidation are described. A short history of the studies and designs including industrial devices for the technologies of the anode hardening is presented.
