Electrospark deposition of chromium diboride powder on stainless steel AISI 304

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV MATERIAL SCIENCE Vol. 24 No. 2 2022 crease in the volume of the plastic metal binder in these coatings and increasing brittleness under friction. In addition, when analyzing the wear resistance of a Cr5 sample, it is worth considering the large thickness of this coating compared to other samples, as indicated by the data on the cathode weight gain (Fig. 2, a). Conclusion Cermet Fe-Cr-B coatings were formed on AISI 304 stainless steel by electrospark treatment in a mixture of iron granules and 5-15 vol.% CrB2 powder. The largest cathode weight gain and coating thickness were in case of using an anode mixture with 5 vol.% CrB2. The X-ray data indicate the cermet structure of the coatings, where the role of the binder is performed by ferrochrome, and the role of ceramics are performed the Cr5B3, Cr2B, and Fe23B6 phases. The borides were formed as a result of the complete destruction of CrB2 upon interaction with an iron melt under the conditions of an electric discharge. With an increase in the concentration of CrB2 in the anode mixture, an improvement in the anticorrosion properties of Fe-Cr-B coatings in a 3.5% NaCl solution and an increase in oxidation resistance compared to AISI 304 steel from 5 to 15 times were observed. The use of electrospark Fe-Cr-B coatings on AISI 304 stainless steel makes it possible to increase its surface hardness, reduce and stabilize the friction coeffi cient, and improve wear resistance by 3.7 times.
