It is well-known the fact that molybdenum and tungsten carbides coatings on metal and non-metal surfaces significantly improve a corrosion and mechanical resistance of materials.
The process of obtaining molybdenum and tungsten carbides coating includes two stages: co-deposition of molybdenum, tungsten and carbon at simultaneously ions reduction on cathode surfaces; reaction between atomic Mo, W and C with double carbides (Mo2C, W2C) formation. The process does not require atmosphere protection.
We investigated the influence of temperature, concentration of components and the duration of the electrolysis on the structure of (Mo2C, W2C)-coatings.
Coatings with best properties are obtained at temperature above 900°C. Crystallites sizes depend on the temperature: the most size-crystals are deposited at temperature above 900°C. Current density was changed in range 0.05-0.1 A/cm2.
