First results in the field of synthesis and research of the multicomponent (Ti-Zr-Hf-V-Nb)N nanostructured coatings are presented in the paper. Influence of processes of spinodal segregation and mass-transfer on single-layered or multilayered crystal boundary (second phase) forming were explored. Superhard nanostructured coatings were investigated before and after annealing at the temperature 600°C using unique methods (slow positron beam, proton microbeam particle induced X-ray emission-μ, Rutherford backscattering-analysis, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis was performed using DRON-4 and nanoindentor). Diffraction spectra were taken point-by-point, with a scanning step 2Θp=0.05 to 0.1°. We detected that positron trapping by defects was observed on the nanograins boundaries and interfaces (vacancies and nanopores which are the part of triple and larger grain's boundary junction). The 3D distribution maps of elements obtained by the proton microbeam (particle induced X-ray emission-μ) together with the results obtained by slow positron microbeam gave us comprehensive information about physical basis of the processes, connected with diffusion and spinodal segregation in superhard coatings.

Using the two technologies: plasma-detonation and vacuum-arc deposition, we fabricated two types of coatings: Ti-Si-N/WC-Co-Cr/steel and Ti-Si-N/steel. We found that the top coating of Ti-Si-N was nanostructured one with 12 to 15 nm grain sizes and H = 40 to 38 GPa hardness. A thick coating which was deposited using the pulsed plasma jet, demonstrated 11 to 15.3 GPa hardness, an elastic modulus (E) changing within 176 to 240 GPa, and tungsten carbide grain dimensions varying from 150 to 350 nm to several microns. An X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the coating has the following phase composition: TiN, (Ti,Si)N solid solution, WC, W_2C tungsten carbides. An element analysis was performed using energy dispersive spectroscopy (microanalysis) and scanning electron microscopy, as well as the Rutherford backscattering of ^4He^{+} ion and the Auger electron spectroscopy. Surface morphology and structure were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and scanning tunnel microscopy. Tests friction and resistance (cylinder-plane) demonstrated essential resistance to abrasive wear and corrosion in the solution. The decrease of grain dimensions ≤ 10 nm occurring in the top Ti-Si-N coating layer increased the sample hardness to 42 ± 2.7 GPa under Ti_{72}-Si_8-N_{20} at.% concentration.
