[Increasing the wearing qualities of clamping microsurgical instruments by electrospark alloying]. / Povyshenie iznosostoikosti zazhimnogo mikrokhirurgicheskogo instrumentariia élektroiskrovym legirovaniem.

Hard alloy coating of the surface of working elements of clamping microsurgery instruments by the method of electro-spark alloying permits to achieve a 2-fold increase of their working life and to improve their functional characteristics.

[Increasing the working life of dental excavators by the addition of a layer of hard alloy to the working surface]. / Povyshenie sroka sluzhby stomatologicheskogo ékskavatora naneseniem na ego rabochnuiu poverkhnost' sloia tverdnogo splava.

The use of hard alloy coatings for the working surfaces of the hatchet excavator applied by electric spark alloying can increase the working life of the above instruments by 0.5-1.5 times.

[Experience in plasma-detonation coating of the working parts of medical instruments with nickel-aluminide-based alloys]. / Opyt naneseniia plazmenno-detonatsionnykh pokrytii iz splavov na osnove aliuminida nikelia na rabochie chasti meditsinskikh instrumentov.

The composition, the structure, and basic physical and mechanical properties of coatings composed of the nickel aluminide-based alloys HA-67, BKHA are examined. They are obtained by the detonation and plasma methods and by the combined detonation-plasma method as well. Because of the increased binder-base strength, a great and more uniform hardness, plasma-detonation coatings have been shown to be optimal as compared to the detonation and plasma methods. The greater hardness is directly related to the increased content of nickel aluminide in the plasma-detonation coatings.
