Despite much research on different aspects of the formation of diffusion carbide coatings (DCC) there is still no complex description of the early stage of the formation of chromium, vanadium and titanium carbides. However, the knowledge of this stage of diffusional processes enables the control the useful coating properties. This paper presents new insights for better understanding of the mechanism of the early stage of V, Ti, Cr DCC growth on a steel matrix.
