A vacuum-arc generator with a venetian blind axial-symmetric system for filtering plasma from macroparticles has been developed.

Technological solutions in the field of the deposition of protective composite nitride coatings from a vacuum-arc plasma filtered from macroparticles have been proposed.

The basic physical mechanisms and regularities of the behavior of vacuum arc macroparticles near and on the surface of a potential electrode immersed in a plasma at a high-frequenc short-pulse y negative bias potential have been proposed.

A method of high-frequency short-pulse three-dimensional plasma-immersion ion implantation for the formation of intermetallide systems were developed.

Technological solutions in the field of diffusion alloying of irregular shaped parts by metal ions in conditions of the compensation of the ion sputtering of surface by the deposition of continuous vacuum arc metal plasma were suggested.
