A study on changes in the properties of silumin surface layers modified by yttrium oxide

Abstract

In the present work, the analysis of the structure and properties of silumin, modified by deposition of yttrium oxide on the surface by electric-explosive alloying, was made, (alloying with a droplet-plasma flow produced by the electric explosion of a conductive foil with a sample of powder material). The structure and phase composition of silumin were studied by scanning and transmission diffraction electron microscopy. Formed coatings are characterized by a high level of roughness and porosity.
