The paper describes the research of coatings on the AK9 aluminum alloy substrate and hybrid coatings deposited on graphite substrate. Coatings on the AK9 alloy were deposited by thermal spraying and PVD method (physical vapour deposition). Hybrid coatings consisting of a tungsten interlayer and an external layer of Zr + DLC (diamond-like carbon) and CVD were deposited on the graphite surface. Plasma methods—PVD and CVD—were used. The structure and composition of coatings were analyzed.
