A single high-temperature tempering of the surfacing sample with the substrate was shown to increase the microhardness of the deposited layer to 5.96 GPa, which is approximately twice the hardness of the substrate (30KhGSA steel). Microhardness remains nearly uniform across the surfacing thickness. Double tempering led to a further increase in the microhardness of the surface layer (100 μm thick) to 7.1 GPa. In this case, microhardness gradually decreases with depth, approaching values observed after single tempering.
