Abstract: 

In the article, due to the conducted research, there have been established the dependences of the quality parameters of the steel part surfaces while nitrocarburizing thereof by the ESA method on the energy parameters of the equipment (discharge energy, Wр) and the technological parameters of the process (labor intensity, τ). The experimental studies have shown that with an increase in the discharge energy there increases the thickness of the strengthened layer, and its microhardness, as well as the surface roughness and its continuity. With an increase in the labor intensity, the thickness of the strengthened layer, its microhardness, and the surface continuity also increase, and the surface roughness almost does not change.

Keywords: 
electrospark alloying, special technological saturating media, nitrocarburizing, surface layer, quality parameters.
