Thin Layers Obtained by Electric Spark in Liquid Medium

Abstract

This paper is a study about the thin layers obtained by metallic deposition method in liquid medium. For this we studied the structure and composition of different deposition regimes, in different liquid mediums. Liquid medium is chosen depending on the purpose. Thus, use was made of protective environments that aim at achieving a more compact layer without many oxides, reactive environments whose components, due to sparkle reactions, combine with elements of basic material to obtain carbides and complex carbonitrides with good wear resistance properties.
