Currently, the technology of arc metallization according to technical and economic indicators is a promising way to restore worn parts of equipment. In the coating process the cored wire is melted by an electric arc, and molten particles are accelerated towards the surface parts with high temperature gas flow. On the subsequent formation of strengthening coatings are significantly influenced the technological modes of electric arc metallization. As practice shows, the coatings obtained by electric arc metallization are characterized by a heterogeneous layered structure. The structure of powder coatings, the distribution, composition and properties of the phases affect on the wear resistance, hardness and strength of the machined surface of machine parts and mechanisms. It is therefore necessary a detailed study of the structure of wear-resistant coatings taking into account technological properties of cored wire, and process heating of the particles by arc spraying. In this work the X-ray microanalysis of the elements of the structure of wear-resistant coatings obtained from cored wire with a refractory additives were conducted. The results of the study will be useful for the improvement technology of electric-arc metallization cored wires.
