“…These technological solutions are based on the assumption that the applied coating makes it possible to create a barrier layer that prevents corrosion (oxidation) and also reduces the rate of degradation (since none of the coatings considered today is capable of completely protecting against corrosion processes) [14,15]. Also, the use of such technologies for the application of protective coatings makes it possible to increase wear resistance due to higher hardness indicators, which are determined both by the structural features of the selected compounds for coating and by the methods for their preparation, the variation of which allows one to obtain either nanostructured coatings (increased strength due to size effects) or amorphous films (having high strength indicators) [16][17][18]. Recently, much attention in the field of research related to the development and use of protective coatings has been paid to technological solutions that make it possible to obtain multilayer or layered coatings, including sequential alternation of layers of various compounds, mainly nitrides or oxides, the use of which can increase wear resistance as well as increasing the resistance of materials to external influences.…”

The work is devoted to the study of the use of AlN–TiO2 coatings as protective materials against corrosion and natural aging, as well as a rise in wear resistance of the steel surface under long-term mechanical influences. The choice of oxy-nitride coatings obtained by magnetron sputtering by layer-by-layer deposition of layers of aluminum nitride and titanium oxide with layer thicknesses of the order of 50 nm and 100 nm as objects of study is due to their high resistance to external influences, which can have a significant impact on growth in the resistance to degradation processes associated with hydrogenation during the operation of steel structures. During determination of the hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of AlN–TiO2 coatings, it was found that the applied coatings, regardless of the conditions for their preparation, have hydrophobic properties (the contact angle is ~125–130°), which are preserved both during corrosion tests (except for TiO2 coatings, for which the change in the contact angle after corrosion tests is ∆ ~ 10°) and when modeling natural aging processes. During the tribological tests of coating samples, it was found that a growth in the number of spray layers (when alternating them) leads to a rise in wear resistance, both in the case of the initial samples and for samples subjected to corrosion in a model solution of 0.1 M NaCl and when simulating natural aging processes.
