Abstract: Features of the anode electrolytic plasma processing of commercial pure titanium and its alloys in aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and ammonia additives are studied. It is identified that structure of modified layer contains an external TiO₂ or TiO layer with micropores of up to 100 nm and a diffusion sub-layer after nitriding in the solution with the ammonia addition. Some increase in the surface microhardness is found. The plasma electrolytic treatment of titanium makes it possible to enhance its corrosion resistance by short-term (5 min) saturation with nitrogen at 750 °C in an electrolyte containing 5% ammonia and 10% ammonium chloride. The oxide coating formed during the anodic treatment has a positive effect on the corrosion resistance of titanium and results in reduce of the corrosion rate by two orders under continuous tests. Saturation of titanium samples with nitrogen leads to an increase in their strength properties after corrosion tests with a slight decrease in ductility. An additional advantage of this coating is to reduce of leaching of alloying elements from samples in corrosive environments.

Abstract: This paper presents the results of research on aluminide protective coatings manufactured on hightemperature creep resistant cast steel. The main purpose of these coatings is protection against the high temperature corrosion, at carburizing and oxidizing potential atmosphere. Coatings were obtained on cast steel type GXNiCrSi 3018 by slurry cementation in air atmosphere. The tests of carburizing and oxidizing were carried out. The structure of the coatings before and after carburizing and oxidizing is described in the present paper. The chemical composition, thickness and microstructure of coatings were determined. These coatings could protect equipment against hot corrosion at carburizing and oxidizing atmosphere and have thermal shocks resistance.
