Surface modification for creation of functional materials in molten salts and their application from cryogenic to ultrahigh temperatures

Nowadays coatings are produced mostly by CVD, PVD methods, plasma and detonation spraying. At the same time, utilization of molten salts for coatings electrodeposition is highly attractive. Creation of a rotor cryogenic gyroscope, a biomedical material nitinol-tantalum, highly active, stable catalysts of the new generation in the form of nanostructured Mo₂C coatings on molybdenum, a composite material MoSi₂-MoB₄ for protection of molybdenum microreactors and ultrahigh temperature Nb-Hf coatings has been discussed.
