Forming of protective nanostructure coatings on metals and glasses and their properties investigation

Abstract

Transparent heat-resistant coatings of 10-30 nm thickness described by (ZrO2)x·(Y2O3)y composition are formed on the surface of metals and glasses by thermolysis technique. Produced coatings possess high adhesive strength, high corrosive and abrasive resistance. Nanocrystalline formations are revealed on samples surface, with quantity of these formations depending on basic solution concentration, formed layers number and thermal treatment mode. Ion-beam modification of obtained coatings under mixing mode enables said properties enhancing owing to zirconium oxiboride formation at substrate-coating interface as a result of ion-beam synthesis.
