The paper presents the detailed description of QUINTA experimental equipment for ion-plasma modification of materials and products surface and vacuum arc plasma-assisted deposition of coatings, which was developed at the laboratory of plasma emission electronics of the Institute of High Current Electronics SB RAS. It is in the list of unique electrophysical setups of the Russian Federation (UNICUUM). In the paper there is the example of the use of QUINTA setup, it is the vacuum arc plasma-assisted deposition of wear-resistant ZrN-based coatings. The mechanical characteristics of the coatings, the elemental and phase composition are presented.
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.
