The regularities of the forming of oxynitride layers on the surface of titanium alloys at the controlled modification of preliminarily formed nitride coatings by oxygen are determined. The dependence of the surface colouring of titanium alloys depending on the composition of formed oxynitrides is showed. It is determined that oxynitriding provides the high corrosion resistance of the titanium alloys. The expediency of the differential approach to the choice of the phase-structural state of the surface layers of oxynitrated titanium depending on the aggressive environment is showed.
Influence of oxinitriding and boriding on the mechanical properties (ultimate strength to destruction at uniaxial tension, plasticity, tendency to delayed destruction, fatigue resistance at bending with rotation, fatigue life at lowcycle pure bending) of titanium alloys is studied.
The purpose of the study is to analytically assess the depth of the gas-saturated zone in the case of a single-component diffusion saturation of alpha-titanium with nitrogen, oxygen and carbon from a rarefied controlled gas environment. Results. Based on the analysis of the literature data, the work schematically shows the interaction of alpha titanium with the elements of implementation and presents the processes with the corresponding parameters that characterize. It is shown that the surface impurity concentration is equal to the equilibrium concentration and is established instantly and does not depend on time. Consequently, with the proposed generalized nonstationary boundary condition in the absence of diffusion of impurities into the volume of the metal, the time dependence of its surface concentration is given, determined by the intensity of surface processes. The dependence of the relative change in the microhardness in the diffusion zone of titanium due to dissolved nitrogen (without taking into account the contribution of nitride inclusions) is presented. Analytically calculated concentration profiles of nitrogen generally correlate well with the distribution of the corresponding relative changes in microhardness in the surface layer. Analytical calculations of the concentration profiles of oxygen, nitrogen and carbon in titanium at a saturation temperature of 700 °C are presented. Practical value. The results obtained will make it possible to preliminarily estimate the size of the fortified near-surface layer depending on the parameters of chemical-thermal treatment and select the optimal parameters of thermal diffusion treatment to ensure the formation of reinforced layers on products made of alpha-titanium based on elements of interstitial in order to increase the functional properties.
