Abstract

The control of obtaining the predicted physico-mechanical properties of protective coatings of machine parts in a complex acoustic field by the method of electroacoustic spraying is carried out through the use of highly concentrated sources of electrical energy. The prediction of the physico-mechanical properties of the hardened surface of machine parts is made on the basis of the experiment planning methodology with non-orthogonal planning matrices. The adequacy of the obtained mathematical models was carried out using the criterion of adequacy of Fisher. Physical fundamentals of mass transfer of materials to a substrate in a complex acoustic field, realized through the transformation of longitudinal vibrations, to longitudinal-torsional, have been developed, while the amplitude of oscillation of the acoustic system is 5 to 15 micrometers. The use of longitudinal-torsional ultrasonic waveguides in this process and ultrafast cooling temperatures make it possible to form elements such as carbides, carbonitrides, and intermetallic compounds on the surface of a conductive material. The subsequent impact with a shift against the surface produced by the waveguide - electrode leads to irreversible microplastic deformations of the surface layer, which provide the specified parameters of surface quality and its physico-mechanical properties.
