Popis: A technique is developed and conditions are determined for the surface liquid-phase alloying with aluminum and chromium of thin-walled tubes made of 12% Cr type steels with the use of high-temperature pulsed gas plasma flows. The surface morphology of the samples subjected to alloying is shown to depend on the type and thickness of a deposited film and the plasma treatment conditions. The optimum plasma treatment conditions are determined; as a result, alloying elements are rather uniformly distributed in a 10-μmthick near-surface layer at a preliminarily deposited film thickness of ∼0.5 μm. In this case, the average aluminum content in the surface layer changes in the range 6–18 wt % and the chromium content increases from ∼12 to ∼25–40 wt %.
