MODIFICATION OF THE SURFACE OF COPPER ALLOYS WITH ALUMINUM IN THE CONDITIONS OF SELF-PROPAGATING HIGH-TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS

Abstract

The influence of the technological parameters of the SHS process (temperature, holding time and alloying of B, Cr, Ti) on the corrosion resistance of brass with a surface alite layer, which effectively resists β-radiation, was studied. The research was carried out in 30% aqueous solutions of HNO3, HCl, H2SO4. Aluminized coatings doped with silicon, which are obtained under optimal parameters, have 1.7-2.1 times higher corrosion resistance than doped B and Ti. Alloyed coatings have phases CuSi, CuAl, CuAl2, CuTi, Ti2Cu3, CuCr, Cu3Al, Cu2Al, Al3Si, and α-phase doped with Cr, Al, Si, B, Ti. When tested in a 30% aqueous solution of nitric acid, the coating doped with titanium and silicon shows a weight loss of 32 and 37 g/m2, respectively.
