METHOD FOR INCREASING WEAR RESISTANCE OF ZIRCONIUM-DIOXIDE-BASED CERAMIC PRODUCTS

摘要

FIELD: production processes. ^ SUBSTANCE: invention allows increasing ceramic surface wear-resistance. The method consists in that the sintered zirconium-dioxide-based ceramic surface is, first, polished, then a 1 to 10 micron-thick aluminum layer is applied thereon. The resulted surface is subjected to 1 to 10 electron beam pulses, the electron energy making 15 to 30 keV, the pulse duration making 30 to 100 mcs and current density in the beam making 40 to 100 A/sm2. ^ EFFECT: higher wear resistance of ceramic surface. ^ 1 dwg
