The article presents the results of metal-physical and tribological studies of carbon thin films - diamond-like coatings (DLC), obtained by vacuum ion-plasma technology. The most interesting results are the gradient distribution of the ratio of carbon electronic configurations sp3/sp2 over the depth of the coating, obtained by the XPS method. The structure of such a coating, as it approaches the substrate, transforms from DLC to amorphous graphite (GLC). This feature manifests itself in the mechanism of coating wear during tribological tests. Its wear occurs by the abrasion mechanism, similar to high-strength rubbers.

In this work, we study the influence of various molecular weights of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) on synthesis substituted hydroxyapatite. Using the scanning electron microscopy we estimated the size and morphology of the particle. We studied the structural transformations of phosphates and the effect of polymer sizes on the structure and morphology. We revealed the thermodynamic stability of the structure of hydroxyapatite due to experimental results.

Abstract. The process of erosion destruction of steels with austenitic, sorbitol and martensitic structure under the influence of high-speed liquid-drop collisions is studied. The characteristics of the morphological features and mechanisms of the process of surface degradation of steels with different structures are given. Their classification criterion is proposed on the basis of the diagrams of limiting states. Based on the theory of Paris-Erdogan, the computational and analytical model of the fatigue fracture of martensitic steel has been developed.
