Abstract

The gravimetric method was used to evaluate the influence of temperature and duration on the specific change in mass of nickel samples (P=?m/S, where ?m - mass change, S - surface area) during electroless diffusive saturation with erbium in a molten eutectic mixture of lithium and potassium chlorides with the addition of 5 wt. % erbium chloride. Mathematical dependencies of P on duration in 773 - 973 K temperature range. The composition of alloy-coats prepared with the electroless transfer of erbium on nickel was studied using energy dispersive energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, X-Ray microanalyzer and scanning electron microscope. Heat resistance of prepared Er-Ni surface alloy has been studied.
