With the aim of improving of antifriction properties of titanium alloys, a method of forming at their surfaces of local sections containing titanium carbide was proposed. The sections formed have a heterogeneous microstructure (Fig.1) similar to the microstructure of hard alloys and are capable to effectively protect the titanium alloy surface against wear and tear [1].figureFig. 1. Surface of local section after etching of titanium matrix (TiC grains with sizes of 1 to tens of μm are identifiable) It is known that the hard alloys based on TiC are used for creation of cutting tools. The most important requirement for cutting tools used in operations under marine conditions is high corrosive resistance of a blade. In this regard, titanium is best material for blade making. However, a cutting power of such blade is low due to viscosity and tendency to adhesion and seizure. Therefore, a preference is often given to stainless steels. Treatment of the cutting edge of the titanium blade using the proposed method will allow to make a blade combining the advantages of titanium (high corrosive resistance and low specific density) with high cutting power (Fig. 2). The local sections were applied over the surface with continuous layer (without intervals). After sharpening such blade, one can cut a glass of 5 mm thick.figureFig. 2.
