The results of the development and study of the modes of formation of a surface alloy based on silicon and niobium on steel 40X using electron-ion-plasma engineering of the surface are presented. The surface alloy was created in several stages: first, layers of silicon and niobium were deposited successively, and then electron-beam remelting of the surface took place. After that, the samples were subjected to nitriding. The dependences of the change in the surface hardness of the samples on the processing modes are shown. In the optimal processing mode, the surface hardness increased by almost 70 times compared to the original material.
