The conditions for formation of coatings based on titanium nickelide under the argon double-arc surfacing of titanium and nickel electrode wires on the titanium samples were shown. Results of evaluating the quality of formation and geometric parameters of the weld at the double-arc surfacing were presented. Relationship between the ratio of feed rates of nickel and titanium wires and chemical composition of the deposited coatings has been established. Investigations of the structure of the surfaced metal at the surfacing modes was carried out. It has been shown that argon double-arc surfacing formed coatings based on the Ti2Ni and TiNi. Mechanical and operational properties of surfaced coatings were studied — hardness, resistance to abrasion and heat resistance at 800 °С. Relative wear resistance of surfaced coatings is higher than that of titanium samples. Dependence of the relative wear resistance of the coatings on the chemical and phase composition was shown. Dependence of heat resistance of the surfaced coatings on the modes of surfacing and the chemical composition of the weld metal is established.
