Research Program Areas
The research program of SHS Center is operating trough three major research areas:

1. SHS of advanced materials
   
   
   1. Composite and functionally-graded target for PVD
   2. Electrodes for electro-spark alloying (ESA) and thermoactive electro-spark surface strengthening (TRESS) methods
   3. Diamond-containing materials
      
   4. Synthetic hard instrumental materials
      
   5. Refractory ceramics for metallurgy
      
   6. Porous permeable materials
      
   7. High-temperature composite materials based on the system NiAL
   
   
2. Development of advanced film and coating systems
   
   
• Magneton Sputtering (MS)
  
• Electro-Spark Alloying (ESA)
