Investigation of the thickness and microhardness of electrospark coatings of amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys

Abstract

The results of investigation of the thickness and microhardness of electrospark coatings (ESCs) of amorphous and nanocrystalline alloys (NCAs) are presented. It is shown that the application of amorphous and NCAs as electrode materials increases the thickness of ESCs and the produced coatings are characterized by high hardness.
