Anodic plasma-electrolyte modification of Fe and Ti-based alloys

Abstract The anodic plasma-electrolyte modification of titanium alloy VT1-0 and low-carbon steel 20 for improvement their properties was carried out in nitrogen- and boronitrogen-containing electrolytes, respectively. Tribological and corrosion-protective properties of formed surface layers was investigated. The data of technical tests showing increase in the operational life of threaded fastening pair subjected toto plasma-electrolyte boronitriding are presented.
