The paper describes the results obtained when investigating a deposition of multicomponent coatings using cathodic arc evaporation (CAE) with direct synthesis reactions. The sequence of phase generation in coatings is found to correlate with the energy of their formation. Special attention is paid to the difference in the processes of phase formation which occurs during deposition of multicomponent and mono-component coatings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
