Modification of engineering parts • PART 1Deposition of nanostructured TiN+C coatings from pulsed cathodic-arc plasma discharge in vacuum • PART 2Electrofriction Discharge Hardening (EDH) of engineering parts operating under the conditions of abrasive wear
Pulsed cathodic arc carbon plasma source • The cathode is made of titanium. • The arc ignition system and additional anode are made of graphite. • The pressure of nitrogen is about 6·10-3 Pa during the coating synthesis.

Conclusion • In comparison with conventional TiN coatings, the nanocomposite layers of TiN containing carbon demonstrate lower roughness, less defects, significantly lower coefficient of friction and high wear resistance • Electrofriction discharge hardening (EDH) method allows hardening layers up to 3.5 mm deep without significant heating of the part. The method does not use expensive welding materials. Hardened layers exhibit the abrasive wear rate up to 5 times lower than the pristine material. The EDH is characterized by high productivity, low-cost equipment and easy automation. The EDH is suitable for hardening the soil processing and rock fracturing tools in agriculture and mining machinery.
Thank You!We are looking forward to successful cooperation. Victor Kazachenko, PhD, Associate professor Laboratory of Surface Physics and Thin Films, Belarusian State University of Transport, Gomel 246653, Belarus, kvp_@mail.ru
