In the course of the conducted studies, the microhardness of both the base metal and the boundaries of the fusion and deposited protective coating were evaluated. Attention is paid to the factors influencing the microhardness level depending on the height of the protective coating of the sample. To visualize the collected data, diagrams were created illustrating the distribution of microhardness in the source material and the protective layer obtained using supersonic gas-powder surfacing.
