Technological process of erosion-resistant coatings

In the period from 1980 to 2000, employees of the department of ion-plasma technologies and equipment, together with representatives of the "Motor-Sich" plant, participated in the development of technological processes of applying erosion-resistant coatings to the blades of the gas turbine compressor. Studies have shown an increase in the stability of blades with a coating when working in conditions of heavy dust. The technological process and installation are certified.
