Review of methods for producing nanocoatings in vacuum

This article describes the role of functional coatings in the industry and methods of applying coatings to components and tools, in order to increase the durability of parts and also improve wear resistivity. Today, functional coatings have a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the methods of deposition of materials by different methods effect on various properties of substrate. The most uniform surface is achieved by using vacuum deposition at low pressure. The advantages of physical deposition are high degree of resistance to wear, corrosion and adhesion. The advantages, disadvantages and features of obtaining various functional nanocoatings have considered. Furthermore, given the sputtering devices of magnetron, ion-plasma with cathodes and ion-beam methods. The most effective ion deposition devices are vacuum-arc evaporators with cooled cathodes.
