Abstract: An improved apparatus for alloying a surface of a workpiece of the type in which an electrode, formed of the alloying material, is connected to a pulse generating machine which creates repetitive spark discharges between the electrode and the workpiece when the electrode is in engagement with the workpiece, the improvement being a safety circuit which prevents energization of the electrode until it is engaged with the workpiece.
