Surface alloying of carbon steels from electrolytic plasma

Methods of light microscopy, measuring of microhardness, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy are used to study the changes in the surface layer of steel AISI 1045 after treatment by electrolytic plasma. The effects of the applied voltage, of the duration of the process, and of the concentration...

Description
Summary:Methods of light microscopy, measuring of microhardness, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy are used to study the changes in the surface layer of steel AISI 1045 after treatment by electrolytic plasma. The effects of the applied voltage, of the duration of the process, and of the concentration of the electrolyte on the micro-hardness and transfer of the alloying element (chromium) to the surface are determined.
