Abstract

Possibilities to use atomic force microscopy (AFM) as a tool to study morphological features and structural parameters of mechanochemically synthesized alloys and structural parameters of mechanochemically synthesized alloys and metal cements based on them are presented. It is stressed that the application of AFM to the investigation of diffusion-hardening alloys characterized by long-term structure forming process allows one to investigate the intermediate states of the surface. A comparative analysis of the data obtained with the help of atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy was carried out.
