In the process of plasma surface hardening, coatings based on a mixture of CuSn alloy and 10/20 % OK 84.78 additive with high hardness were obtained. The study of the microstructures of the coatings showed that the content of the austenite phase decreases with an increase in the content of chromium carbide in the composition. The influence of the acidity parameter on the corrosion resistance of the alloyed surface layer with the composition of the mixture of alloys CuSn and the coating of the welding electrode OK 84.78 was evaluated. Corrosion control in 3% NaCl solutions with different pH values showed that the plasma coating has high corrosion resistance at pH = 7 and decreases by 2 times at pH = 3. An increase in the chromium content leads to an increase in the corrosion potential, and the presence of cracks leads to an increase in the corrosion current density.
