FEATURES OF FORMATION OF ELECTROLYTE-PLASMA COATINGS FROM NICKEL-CONTAINING ELECTROLYTES ON TITANIUM ALLOYS
Influence of nickel sulfate additives in silicate-alkaline electrolyte for microarc oxidation of titanium alloys on properties of formed electrolyte-plasma coatings was investigated. The influence of the component composition of the electrolyte on the chemical composition of the coatings, their protective ability, porosity and electrical characteristics was established. It is shown that the most corrosion-resistant coatings are formed from electrolytes with a low content of nickel sulfate, and an increase in the content of nickel in the coating does not lead to a significant change in its electrical conductivity.
