Vacuum ion-plasma sputtering is the final stage in the construction of a component. With it’s help coating out of metal, alloy or a chemical compound is formed, which helps to protect the surface of a component and the component itself from hostile environments. One example, where this type of coating is used, are blades of gas turbines, elements of the combustion chamber, and adjustable nozzles of turboshaft. For example: in modern turboshaft the temperature of gas before the turbine goes up to 1700C0. Achieving such temperatures was made possible, thanks to manufacturing the components of a turboshaft out of heart-resistant materials and cooling of it’s elements. An engine’s operational reliability and economy depend on adequate functioning of the combustion chamber. Use of ion-plasma sputtering, together with application of nickel, chrome, aluminum, yttrium and other allowed for longer lifetimes of a turboshaft. But is there a way to use this method for opposite purposes? For example, to fight icing of the surface of an aircraft? This is the goal which researchers in a project called “Multifunctional Nanostructured Coatings for Aircraft Structures (NANOCOAIRS) set for themselves”
