Abstract

We describe the mechanism of processes at the metal-saturating medium interface in the course of thermodiffusion saturation of titanium in boron carbide at temperatures that do not exceed the point of polymorphic transformation of titanium alloys. We have established the influence of oxygen partial pressure over a layer of boron carbide on the character of interaction between the saturating medium and titanium. We show the possibility to form stable boride coatings on a titanium matrix.
