Abstract Modern industries are increasingly utilizing technologies based on concentrated energy flows. Technologies utilizing concentrated energy sources are primarily used for machining components made of difficult-to-machine engineering materials, as well as for manufacturing highly complex shapes that would be labor-intensive and time-consuming using traditional methods. This article examines two processing methods used to produce anti-wear coatings: electro-spark deposition (ESD) and laser cladding. By controlling electrode erosion parameters, such as current intensity or capacitor capacitance, we can shape coatings with different functional properties. By controlling laser parameters, such as power, scanning speed, and pulse duration, it is possible to create coatings with different surface properties. The paper presents these processes in the context of producing coatings for various applications, including military technology.
