- Development of mechanisms for modifying structural-phase states, physical and strength properties of surface layers of metal and composite materials under high-energy electron-ion-plasma exposure;

- Creation of new composite materials for structural and functional purposes based on carbides and oxides with a hierarchical structure, in a wide range of porosity, studying their physical and mechanical properties, as well as processes of deformation and destruction at different scale levels.

Key results:

• Scientific and technological bases for obtaining multicomponent powder targets (cathodes) for vacuum-arc and magnetron synthesis of nitride coatings with a nanocrystalline structure have been developed.
• Scientific and technological bases for the synthesis of metal matrix composites strengthened by dispersed particles of carbides, borides, and silicides have been developed.
• The role and significance of the key parameter in the process of formation of high-strength structures in heat-resistant intermetallic alloys under conditions of thermal explosion of the initial elements under pressure - force loading and deformation at the corresponding stages of the process of high-temperature synthesis of the intermetallic alloy - has been established.
• The scientific and technological foundations of electron beam surfacing and spraying of composite wear-resistant coatings with a carbide strengthening phase have been developed.
• It has been shown theoretically that a decrease in the ionization energy of a plasma-forming inert gas during the transition from electron irradiation of a metal-ceramic composite 50%TiC/50%(Ni-20%Cr) in argon plasma to irradiation in krypton and xenon plasmas at constant values ​​of irradiation pulse duration and energy density in an electron beam increases the depth of heating of the surface layer of the metal-ceramic composite to the temperatures of initiation of interphase interaction of the components of the metal-ceramic composition and structural-phase transformations in the surface layer of the composite.
• The scientific foundations of liquid-phase sintering in metal systems with interacting components have been developed.
• The scientific basis for the formation of an ultrafine-grained structure and high mechanical properties of powder and cast metal materials using the equal-channel angular pressing (ECP) method has been developed.
• It has been experimentally established that with an increase in atomic mass and a simultaneous decrease in the ionization energy of the plasma-forming inert gas under pulsed electron irradiation, the depth of refinement of the metal-ceramic structure of the surface layer increases, and the content of the nanostructured component in the surface layer increases. In accordance with the development of the nanocrystalline structure, the microhardness and wear resistance of the surface layer increase, the friction coefficient on the irradiated surface decreases, and the service life of the metalworking tool increases manifold.
• New patterns of transformation transformation in porous ceramics based on zirconium dioxide and features of the formation of physical and mechanical properties and deformation relief in ceramic materials based on zirconium dioxide have been established;
• It has been established that in porous ceramics a transformation transformation associated with mechanical stresses is possible, and the main factor determining such a transformation in a porous material is internal microstresses (stresses of the second kind), which decrease with increasing porosity and increasing grain size of the ceramic;
• Ceramic materials with a hierarchical pore structure have been obtained, which has a significant impact on the nature of damage to the material during compression, causing a transition from brittle fracture to quasi-plastic fracture, due to the formation of numerous sources of destruction.
