Abstract

The combined treatment which includes thermodiffusion saturation with interstitial ele­ments (oxygen and nitrogen) and electrospark alloying with a graphite electrode was studied. The effect of near-surface hardening and the sequence of combined treatment steps on the phase composition, structure, surface microhardness and tribological charac­teristics of coatings deposited on commercially pure titanium in tribo-pairs with steel was evaluated.
