Abstract. Systematic studies have been carried out to establish the main regularities of synthesis of ternary compounds (MAX-phases) in the plasma of low-voltage pulse discharge on metal surfaces of steel and titanium in the process of electrospark alloying with compact electrodes made of Ti, Al, graphite, titanium nitride (TiN), silicon carbide (SiC) and their powders. Tribological tests of steel and titanium samples with coatings containing MAC-phases have been conducted, which demonstrated their high wear resistance under dry friction conditions.

Keywords: synthesis, ternary compounds, electric spark alloying, compact electrodes, wear resistance
