The structure of the chromium plating on steel fabricated using iodine transport

Abstract

Abstract A comprehensive study of the composition, structure, and properties of chromium-containing coatings obtained under various modes of chemical-thermal treatment (CTT) of steels with chromium has been carried out. The method of iodine transport was used as the CTT technology. On the example of Armco iron, steels 20, 45, U12 (C110W2), the effect of carbon on the phase composition and structure of coatings is shown. Based on the data obtained, the optimal conditions for obtaining coatings are recommended, providing a comprehensive increase in the operational properties of products.
