In the present work we discuss recent studies concerning plasma dynamics influence on the material synthesis product of the impulse plasma deposition process. Conditions favourable for evaluation of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability on the current sheet surface were found during the computational studies of plasma movement in the coaxial accelerator. Appearance of this phenomenon explains non-uniform phase composition and morphology of coatings. By modifying the design of the plasma accelerator, we succeeded in reducing substantially Rayleigh-Taylor instability and in obtaining α-Al_{2} O_{3} coatings instead of common γ-Al_{2}O_{3}.
In the present paper we propose a model of physical phenomena behind the front face of the electrodes in an impulse plasma accelerator. The model is based on the results of recent experimental observations and measurements. It correlates plasma dynamics with mechanism of phenomena in a column of pinching plasma. On the contrary to the previous model the current one suggests the series of relatively short pulses of metallic ions from the erosion of electrode material. Till now the pinch was treated rather as a nearly continuous source of metallic plasma, feeding the process with ions from the erosion of electrode material.
