Metal ceramic alloy structure and surface layer modification during electron-ion-plasma irradiation of its surface

The paper presents research findings on the problems of electron-beam irradiation in noble gases plasma with different indexes of ionizing energy and atomic weight, and a surface layer structure modification versus a surface layer microhardness, wear and bending resistances and corrosion stability of 50% TiC/50% (Ni + 20% Cr) metal ceramic alloy samples. Discussions on the issues of the ways impulse electron-beam irradiation in the conditions of various types of noble gas plasma influences the mechanism of a metal ceramic alloy surface layer structure-phase state modification has been also presented.
