Purpose. Substantiation of the possibility obtaining composite cermet electric arc coatings using TiC powder as a strengthening phase, determination their physical and mechanical properties. Methodology. The microstructure was studied by computer metallography ZEISS Gemini SEM 500 scanning electron microscope. chemical composition determined X-ray spectral analysis; phases were identified measu...

Multilayer cermet coatings based on a TiNbZrTaHf high-entropy alloy were produced solid substrates by plasma-assisted vacuum-arc deposition. The assisting multicomponent metal-gas plasma was generated evaporating cathodes in gas mixture of nitrogen and argon. It found that the nanocrystalline structure (with nanocrystal sizes ranging from 2.5 to 4 nm). metallic layer had body-centered cubic lat...
