Modern industry makes ever-growing demands towards decorative characteristics and protective properties of manufactured products, as well as requires increasing level of environmental friendliness. One of the most efficient technologies for improving durability of a product is applying different coatings on the effective area. Due to their flexibility ion-plasma methods of applying decorative and protective coatings are becoming more widely used in modern industry. Methods differ with high controllability of the process; capability of getting chemical compounds and alloys of given composition including films from refractory materials; better film adhesion to the surface, etc.
