Abstract: Fe-Si composite layers on a steel substrate were prepared by codeposition of silicon powders with electrolytically deposited iron. The composite layers were thermally treated at 800°C for 2 h and 4 h. It was found that microhardness and high temperatures oxidation resistance of the Fe-Si thermally treated composite layers are remarkably higher than those of steel substrate used. Microhardness of the composite layers has achieved up to 1000 N mm-2.
