Abstract

Some aspects of coating deposition on aluminum substrate by electrospark alloying with toolelectrode from Al-Sn alloy stimulating the SnO2 nanofibers formation in coatings have been studied. Wear resistance of such coatings, under dry friction conditions, in conjunction with a counterbody from hardened steel has been investigated. The conditions under which the coatings thus obtained manifest the of effect of the maximal wear excess of the counterbody compared to the wear of the coatings containing SnO2 nanofibers have been specified. The effect reaches its maximum value under the dry friction after the treatment of the surface in the mode of “sparking” at a constant energy supply in the spark gap: at high rates of the tool electrode movement with respect to the specimen and at relatively large times of the electrospark effect on the treated surface.
