The use of the technology of combined electromechanical processing, consisting of a high-temperature plastic deformation mode, when tungsten carbide powder is implanted into the surface of carbon steel, and a high-temperature thermal hardening mode, during which tungsten carbides are partially dissolved in the austenite of steel up to the limit of its saturation with tungsten, provided a gradient wear-resistant three-layer highly dispersed structure as a result of the decomposition of supercooled austenite oversaturated with tungsten. The results of tribotechnical tests of cylindrical specimens by the normalized method are presented.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) process is widely used to process hard materials in the industry. The process of electrical discharge is changed and called PMEDM when alloy powder is added in the oil dielectric. In the current study, the effect of tungsten carbide alloy powder added in the dielectric on the surface roughness (Ra) and the micro hardness of surface (HV) status of the workpiece SKD61 after machining is investigated. Studies show that the surface roughness and the micro hardness of surface obtained by PMEDM is generally better than that by normal EDM. The method can be applied for improving surface quality such as improving strengthening of molds and machine parts.
