The article presents the results of studies of the surface layers’ quality (microstructure, microhardness, roughness, and continuity) of BrO10S10 bronze specimens with combined electrospark coatings (CEC). The coatings of three series are investigated: the 1st series prepared without sulfurizing (Ag → Pb → Ag і Ag → Sn → Ag), the 2nd—included a deposition of sulphur in the form of a sulphuric ointment to the surface to be treated before silvering (S + Ag → Pb → S + Ag і S + Ag → Sn → S + Ag), and the 3rd—included the application of sulphuric ointment to the surface to be treated before the next stage of electrospark alloying (S + Ag → S + Pb → S + Ag і S + Ag → S + Sn → S + Ag). As found, on samples of the 1st series, with an increase in the discharge energy (Wр), the thickness of the CEC increases from 0.27 to 2.9 mm, while the microhardness is in the range of 8–140 and 130–183 MPa for coatings with lead and tin, respectively, roughness Rz = 8.5–10.0 μm. For samples of the 2nd series, with an increase in Wр, the thickness of the CEC increases from 0.19 to 1.3 mm, the microhardness is in the range of 80–180 MPa, and the roughness Rz = 5.5–7.5 μm. The continuity for all samples is 100%. As shown, the CECs on samples of the 3rd series are destroyed. The CECs formed in the sequence S + Ag → Pb → S + Ag and S + Ag → Sn → S + Ag are recommended for practical application, if their thickness is sufficient for subsequent technological impact by any known method (blade treatment, non-abrasive ultrasonic finishing, etc.).
Key words: bronze bearing, running-in coating, combined electrospark coatings, friction force, wear.
