The fine structure and defectiveness of metal powder crystal lattices produced by electroerosion dispersion were examined. Dispersion was performed on granulated aluminum, Armco iron, carbon steels, and tungsten. The fine structure was examined by x-ray diffraction. Harmonic analysis was performed using a computer and a program which calculates not only the expansion coefficients of the functions into a Fourier series but also the microdistortions and the dimensions of the mosaic blocks. Electroerosion powders were found to have higher density of crystal lattice defects which can increase their chemical and catalytic activity, improve the metallic electroerosion powder passivation, and increase their corrosion resistance.
