This publication is devoted to the method of applying coatings from various materials to carbide cutting tools by the method of electrospark alloying, as well as the experience of using this method in practice. The formation of the surface layer, its structure were studied, and cutting tests were carried out. It has been found that nickel and aluminum coatings are more resistant than copper and zinc coatings.
