STRUCTURAL AND MORPHOLOGICAL FEATURES OF HIGH-ENTROPY SUPERHARD COATINGS

The article presents the results of studies of the structure and physical and mechanical characteristics of vacuum intermetallic coatings formed from magnetically controlled flows of a multicomponent reaction medium on metal substrates using the methods of atomic force and electron microscopy, optical microscopy, and physical and mechanical analysis. The surface roughness of vacuum coatings, metal substrates, was evaluated using the profilometry method. The study of the morphology of the surface layers of TiAlSi (N,C) coatings formed on substrates of different nature by the methods of atomic force and optical microscopy made it possible to establish the dependence of the morphological parameters of the coatings on the chemical composition of the substrate.
