CONFLICT OF INTEREST

: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interests.

: This work complies with the subject of the studies performed in Kostroma State University for about a quarter of a century under the supervision of Pavel Nikolaevich Belkin, Doctor of Engineering Science, Professor. They chiefly comprise the anodic variants of plasma electrolytic saturation of metals and alloys with nitrogen, carbon, and boron, along with quenching and polishing. By now, the KSU group prepared over 200 publications, seven candidate degree works, and one doctoral dissertation as well as 12 designs for the Russian Science Foundation, the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and the Ministry of Research and Education of the Russian Federation grant financing for a sum of over 60 mln rubles. All results without exception are the continuation of the studies whose foundation was laid by the academic Boris Romanovich Lazarenko at the Institute of Applied Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the Moldova Republic. Under his supervision, works were performed for the first time that showed the possibilities of the anodic plasma electrolytic treatment for the diffusion saturation of metals and alloys with nitrogen and carbon [ ] as well as of anodic polishing [ ]. At present, these methods are successfully developed in many countries.
