The development of aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering directly depends on the development of new metal materials and advanced technologies. The problem of creating materials and their types of processing to increase the level of operational properties is relevant in connection with the complication and tightening of working conditions of modern technologies. One of the most important tasks of contemporary aircraft construction is to increase the operational properties of the surface layer. The purpose of the article is to elucidate the effect of high-current electron beams of microsecond duration on changes in the surface layers of the heat-resistant multicomponent ion-plasma coating Ni-Cr-Al-Y under various conditions. Using a complex of metallophysical research methods, the physicochemical and structural-phase states of the surface layer were studied before and after modification of the samples. These samples were coated with heat-resistant condensed ion-plasma coatings of three different compositions using nine high-current electron beams in 9 modes with different values of electron energy and number of pulses in the selected interval of electron energy. An analysis of the structural phase changes occurring during modification was carried out. Cylindrical samples of targets made of heat-resistant nickel alloy ZhS36 coated with ion-plasma condensed multicomponent coating SDP-2 + VSDP-16. These samples were used according to serial technology, both with subsequent modification using highcurrent electron beams and without modification. It was found that chromium in the initial state is unevenly distributed: chromium is present in the particles; the matrix is depleted in chromium. The research results can be useful for scientists to study the properties of heat-resistant multicomponent ion-plasma coatings Ni-Cr-Al-Y and the effect of high-current electron beams on it, as well as for the manufacture of more heat-resistant materials in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering.
