Results of scientific activity:

  • Separator of plasma for industrial purposes unique by its capacity, operation stability and reliability is developed, produced and approved; this separator exceeds the best world analogues in 1,5-2 times by its capacity. The source of plasma is patented in Ukraine and in Russia, is now patenting in USA, Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea and China. Firstly in the history of KIPT license for named source of plasma was passed to the Dutch company “Khauzer” and now the pilot specimen of the source is successfully tested in Holland.
  • A series of nanostructure and nano compositional metallic and compositional mono- and polycomponent coatings with unique operational characteristics is produced for wide range of application in NP and other branches of industry.
  • The extreme dependence of nano hardness of TiSiN coating on content of silicon is revealed. Maximum hardness (~33 GPa) was observed with silicon concentration of 7 weight % .
  • To prevent large-scale accidents during the loss of coolant with the onset of steam-zirconium reaction with the dissociation of water, absorption of oxygen and release of hydrogen(LOCA, Fukusima-1) of nuclear reactor WWER processes of coating deposition for zirconium alloys are developed; such coatings will reli8ably isolate of Zr from interaction with water vapor at T=1100oC during 3600. Besides, coatings guarantee the increase of mechanical, corrosion and erosion characteristic of fuel tubes.
  • Testing of nitride multy component coatings on systems Ti-Al-Y-Re-V, Ti-Al-Ni-Cr-N, Ti-Si-Y-N, Ti-Mo-Fe-Y-N for wear resistance was performed. It was revealed that addition to nitrides on the base of titanium of impurities Ni, Cr, Si, Fe doesn’t promote the increase of wear resistance of coatings. Alloying of nitride coatings Ti-Al-N by low impurities of Y and Re appears to be more effective. Record indexes were observed for coating produced from cathode of composition Ti0,49 Al0.50Y0,.006 Re0,0005 which have withstood 14 hours of cavitation tests with the loss only 30 mkg of the mass;
  • Study of the effect of parameters of diamond films deposition on the synthesis of textured diamond films is performed. On the base of X-ray diffraction study and investigation of the structure of diamond coating surface the range of parameters of diamond coatings with different texture in coordinates “temperature of synthesis of diamond coating-concentration of methane in gaseous mixture” is determined.
