1. Introduction
Structural engineering has recently become a basic method for achieving the required functional properties of materials [1, 2]. Owing to structural engineering, it became possible to create new types of materials. Such materials include pseudo-alloys [3], nanoperiodic composites based on various transient metals [4, 5], solid solutions, oversaturated as a result of ion implantation, based on metals [6] or phases of implantation [7]. It becomes possible to stabilize metastable structural states by selecting conditions for the formation of materials [8].
A separate direction of structural engineering is the creation of artificial materials based on multi-element composites [9], as well as multi-layer structures with alternating metal and ceramic layers [10]. Such artificial materials have unique high performance characteristics [11]. A particularly high increase in the functional characteristics was detected for the materials, which were formed under very non-equilibrium conditions [12, 13]. This is caused by ion bombardment at condensation that occurs at deposition of coatings in vacuum [14].
In this case, the higher selectivity for element composition can be achieved [15].
In recent years, special attention has been paid to coatings based on multi-element (high-entropy) alloys [16]. This is predetermined by that the high-entropy alloys have the unique property of ordering in a metal lattice at high temperatures [17]. Ordering is caused by the fact that the contribution of an entropy factor increases in high-entropy alloys as a result of intensive agitation [18], which stabilizes the formation of a solid solution with a simple crystalline structure [19] or amorphous-like state [20]. This makes it possible to attain high-temperature resistance to oxidation while retaining high physical-mechanical properties. Such properties of materials are extremely relevant and are required for parts and elements in modern aerospace technology, as well as power machine-building technologies.
2. Literature review and problem statement
To increase thermal stability of a material, the concept of multi-component high-entropy alloys (HEA) was proposed

and experimentally proved [21, 22]. In accordance with this concept, high entropy of mixing can stabilize the formation of a disordered solid-solution phase and prevent the formation of intermetallic phases in the process of crystallization [23].
The main feature of high-entropy alloys is the existence of heterogeneous atoms of elements in a lattice of the solid solution [24]. Atoms of multi-element high-entropy alloys have a different electron structure, dimensions, and ther-modynamic properties in the crystal lattice of the solid solution of substitution. At an unordered arrangement, there occurs a significant distortion of the crystalline lattice. Emerging microdistortions of the crystalline lattice contribute to the solid solution hardening [25]. A decreased free energy of high-entropy alloys ensures stability of solid solution alloys at high temperatures [26]. In addition, large distortions of the lattice, due to the substitution of several metal elements with different atomic dimensions, lead to a decrease in the rate of atoms diffusion and intensify the effect of formation and stabilization of the solid solution [27]. Large distortions also contribute to a decrease in the rate of crystallites growth [28]. In this case, a nano-dimen-sional or amorphous structure is formed [29]. As a result of high entropy of mixing such alloys, lattice deformation and a decrease in the diffusion, the formation of solid solution phase with a simple crystalline lattice occurs in high-entropy alloys [30]. These crystal lattices are the face-centered cubic (FCC) or body-centered (BCC) lattices [31], but no double or triple intermetallic compounds are not formed in this case [32]. The importance of a difference in atomic radii of the constituent components was determined for the formed structural state [33]. In this case, the more constituent elements with very different atomic radii there are, the higher the probability for the formation of an amorphous-like state [34]. In this regard, all most commonly employed atoms of transient metals can be conditionally divided into several groups. The first group includes Si with a relatively small atomic radius (0.117 nm). The second group includes elements whose atomic radius is about 0.125 nm (Cr - 0.125 nm, Co - 0.125 nm, V - 0.132 nm, Fe - 0.126 nm, Cu - 0.128 nm, Ni - 0.124 nm). The third group includes elements whose atomic radius is about 0.145 nm (Al -0.143 nm, Ta - 0.143 nm, Ti - 0.145 nm, Mo - 0.136 nm, Nb - 0.143 nm). The fourth group includes elements with a relatively large atomic radius (Zr - 0.160 nm, Hf - 0.159 nm), and the fifth group includes Y with a very large (0.180 nm) atomic radius. By using the elements from different groups and by modifying their concentration, it is possible to alter in a wide range the structural state and properties of high-entropy alloys [35].
Thus, for multi-element (high-entropy) materials, the accuracy of entering the required composition (up to tenths of a per cent) is a critical parameter and defines a qualitative change in the properties of materials. In this case, in order to achieve a high distortion of the crystalline lattice (which significantly decreases diffusive mobility and improves stability), the constituent elements with different parameters are used. This determines a larger selectivity of the impact of technological conditions for obtaining such materials on the formation of element composition.
Therefore, when obtaining the required properties of materials of high-entropy alloys, a very important task is to develop procedures to control the element composition. Of significant relevance for the industrial use of these materials is also the establishment of patterns in the influence of
technological conditions for their obtaining on the element composition.
3. The aim and objectives of the study
The aim of present study is to identify the patterns of influence of the substrate temperature at deposition on the elemental and phase compositions of coatings obtained by electron-beam evaporation of the high-entropy alloy AlTiVCrNbMo. The identification of these patterns would make it possible to model the conditions for obtaining the required composition from the multi-element metal components with very different structure of the atom.
To accomplish the aim, the following tasks have been set:
- to compare a starting composition of the target of evaporated metal with the composition after evaporation;
- to explore peculiarities in the formation of the element composition of coatings obtained by electron-beam evaporation of the high-entropy alloy AlTiVCrNbMo at a change in the substrate temperature from 300 to 700 0C;
- to identify the features of phase formation of the coatings based on the high-entropy alloy AlTiVCrNbMo at different temperature of deposition;
- to describe the mechanism of the influence of processes at the electron-beam method of obtaining on the element composition of coatings based on high-entropy alloy Al-TiVCrNbMo.
4. Procedure for obtaining ingots of high-entropy alloys and electron-beam coatings on their base
High-entropy alloys were melted in the arc furnace MIFI-9-3 in the atmosphere of high-purity argon; in this case, the atmosphere was additionally refined through repeated melting of a Zr-Ti getter. After a tenfold re-melting, high-entropy alloys were crystallized at the rate of 20 K/s in the form of a cylinder weighing 50 g. Fig. 1 shows a typical photograph of the surface of an ingot of the high-entropy alloy, which clearly demonstrates its dendrite structure.
Fig. 1. Surface of the ingot of a high-entropy alloy
Vacuum condensates of the high-entropy alloy (AlTiVCrNbMo) with a thickness of 3...5 ^m were obtained at the vacuum setup UVN-2M-1 at a working vacuum of 540-5 mTorr [36]. Schematic of the setup for obtaining the samples is shown in Fig. 2.
The alloy evaporation was performed from water-cooled ingot mold 4 using electron-beam gun 5 with a power of 5 kW. The condensation of vapors of all the elements of the
alloy was carried out onto copper substrate 8 at temperatures 300, 500, 700 °C. Alloy condensation rate reached ~1 ^m/min. Distance from the evaporators to the substrate was ~100 mm. Deposition temperature was controlled by chromel-alumel thermocouple 6.

5. Procedures for studying the element composition and structure of the samples
Element composition of the samples was examined using the X-ray spectral method at the setup SPRUT-2 (Ukraine). The setup SPRUT-2 is a scanning crystal-diffraction spectrometer, which operates in the wavelength range from 0.035 to 7 nm (from boron to uranium) [37]. Primary excitatory radiation is the radiation from an X-ray tube of the firing type with the Ag anode at excitatory voltage 42 kV [38].
The phase-structural state was studied at the diffrac-tometer DRON-3M (Russia) in the radiation of Cu-Ka. A graphite monochromator, installed in the secondary beam (in front of the detector), was used for monochromatizating the recorded radiation. The study of the phase composition, the structure (texture, substructure) was performed in line with traditional procedures of X-ray diffractometry by analyzing the position, intensity, and the shape of profiles of diffraction reflexes.

The scheme of the electron-beam process, employed in obtaining the coatings, leads to the formation of a coating on a large area. That is why an analysis of the element composition in two extreme points at deposition was performed in the experiment at Ts=700 °C (where the greatest non-homogeneity of the element composition on the surface area was expected). In the evaporation scheme in Fig. 3, they are shown in the form of points 1 and 2.

We studied elemental composition using samples, located at a distance of 5 cm from the center. Typical spectra of X-ray fluorescent analysis of the element composition are shown in Fig. 4. One can see that mostly light elements (Al, Ti, Cr) and copper substrate are identified on the spectra of the coatings, obtained at the lowest Ts=300 °C. At the same time, the element composition of the coatings, obtained at a relatively high Ts=700 °C, demonstrate in the spectrum mostly the peaks, associated with heavy components (Nb and Mo), and peaks from the copper substrate.

Data on the X-ray fluorescent element analysis of the composition of an evaporated multi-element material are given in Table 1. One can see that the heaviest elements Nb and Mo with atomic masses of 92.91 and 95.96 exist in the increased content by mass, and lighter elements Al, Ti, V, and Cr (with masses of 26.98, 47.87, 50.94 and 51.99, respectively) - in mass share of about 11 %.

Results of the element analysis of coatings are given in the generalized form in Table 2. It follows from the obtained data that aluminum content in the coating is maximal at Ts=300 °C. At a higher temperature, aluminum content drops sharply. It should be noted that closer to the center of the substrate (position 1), a relative decrease in the aluminum content occurs to a greater extent, compared with the position that is distant from the center (position 2).
most refractory elements niobium and molybdenum in the coatings can be attributed to the dependence of type III (type III in Fig. 5).
The composition of the evaporated target after conducted experiments is important for the analysis of the results obtained. The obtained composition is given in Table 3. One can see that refractory Nb and Mo remained the basic elements of the target after evaporation. The content of low-melting aluminum after evaporation decreased to the greatest extent compared to the initial composition of the target (Table 1). The content of chromium in the evaporated target also decreased significantly.

The chromium content in coatings changes similarly. At the same time, the content of titanium and vanadium at all temperatures of deposition remains quite high. However, the reverse process is observed for these elements at an increase in Ts (compared with aluminum and chrome). One can see that the content of Ti and V increases at an increase in Ts. At the same time, the content in coatings that are close to the center (position 1 in Fig. 3) is slightly higher than the content at the remote section 2.
The content of the heaviest and refractory niobium and molybdenum is low at all temperatures of the substrate. The content of molybdenum does not exceed 5.6 % by weight and that of niobium does not exceed 0.23 % by weight.
It is convenient to use graphical representation to visualize the shape of concentration dependences. Fig. 5 shows a graphical view of dependences of the content of elements on the substrate temperature at deposition. Fig. 5 demonstrates that all resulting dependences can be conditionally divided into 3 types (by their change). The first type includes dependences 2 and 3 (for titanium and vanadium), the course of which is characterized by a constant increase in content at an increase in Ts (type I in Fig. 5).

The XRD-method was used in present study to determine the phase composition. Based on the data on X-ray diffraction spectra (Fig. 6), a non-homogeneous two-phase state (presumably based on BCC of lattices with periods 0.3075 nm and 0.3024 nm) is formed at a low temperature of deposition at Ts=300 oC (when there are only 4 elements in coatings). According to the element composition (Table 2), these phases can form based on chromium and a mixture of titanium and aluminum (with a large period).

At high deposition temperature Ts=500 oC and Ts= =700 oC, a single-phase state is formed. This state manifests itself in the form of a single peak (shown by arrow in Fig. 6) on the diffraction spectrum of the coating obtained at Ts=500 oC. Position of the peak corresponds to the reflection from a plane (110) of BCC lattice with a period of 0.313 nm. The peak (whose position of a maximum corresponds to a period of 0.3108 nm) and an "underfur" toward large angles (Fig. 6, spectrum 3), determined by heterogeneity of element composition, appears in the spectrum at Ts=700 oC. If we compare it with the element composition, we can see that at Ts=500 oC and Ts=700 oC the number of elements in the coating is already 6. In this case, the content of five elements exceeds 2.5 % by weight.
It should be noted that the content of chromium decreases and the content of titanium and vanadium increases in the samples at an increase in the substrate temperature; Mo also appears. Since titanium has the largest atomic radius, it is possible to associate an increase in the period of a solid solution with an increase in this content.

The existence of a large asymmetry in the diffraction profile in the spectrum of the coating, obtained at the highest Ts=700 oC (spectrum 3 in Fig. 6), indicates its element heterogeneity by volume. In this case, even a small relative content of elements with large mass and reflectance (Nb and Mo), because of their great difference in atomic radius, leads to a significant increase in the spectral range and, accordingly, to the emergence of a complex profile (from several overlapping lines) of the diffraction spectrum.
tion corresponds to one electron at the outer level of 3p or 4s shells. At the same time, the application of such parameters as melting temperature and ionization energy for analysis does not make it possible to predict all obtained experimental results by the selective evaporation of elements from multi-element materials.

7. Discussion of results of the element and phase analyses of coatings, obtained at different Ts
It follows from the results presented that the temperature of deposition plays an important role in the formation of the element and phase compositions. According to the conditions for materials formation, the results we obtained can be divided into those determined by the evaporation condition and those determined by the deposition conditions. To this end, Table 4 summarizes data on the most important characteristics of elements, which compose a high-entropy alloy (in terms of the process of electron-beam evaporation and condensation).
To analyze the influence of evaporation conditions, it is important to compare the results of research into the element composition of a target before and after evaporation. For this purpose, we will apply Tables 1, 3. The comparison shows that after evaporation the relative content of aluminum in the target decreased by 30 times (it was 10.01 and became 0.33 % by weight), of titanium - by 2.2 times (it was 8.06, and became 3.7 % by weight), of vanadium - by 1.7 times (it was 11.56 and became 6.82 % by weight), of chromium - by 7.75 times (it was 11.47 and became 1.48 %). At the same time, the relative content of niobium increased by 1.4 times (it was 31.38 and became 43.7 % by weight) and of molybdenum - by 1.5 times (it was 29.08 and became 44.0 % by weight). Thus, one can see that, by the character of evaporation, the elements that comprise a high-entropy alloy can be conditionally divided into three groups. The first group includes refractory Nb and Mo. The use of power of the electron-beam gun of 5 kW for these elements leads to the insufficient heating of the material required for their intensive evaporation. As it follows from data shown in Table 4, specific heat of vaporization of these materials is the highest and makes up 590...680 kJ/mol. The second group includes Al and Cr, which are characterized by the lowest specific heat of evaporation of 284.1.342 kJ/mol. It is possible to see that this leads to a relative decrease in the content of aluminum by 30 times, and of chromium - by 7.75 times. Ti and V, whose specific heat of evaporation is 422.6 and 460 kJ/mol, respectively, can be attributed to the third group. This led to a relative decrease in their content by 2.2 and 1.7 times, respectively.
Thus, it is clear that specific evaporation of elements from a multi-element target of high-entropy alloy proceeds in accordance with specific heat of evaporation for the constituent elements.
This parameter depends on the electron configuration of the elements (Table 4). The lowest specific heat of evapora-

Mo 95.962 [39] [Kr] 4d5 5s1 139 2,890 7.10 590
The second factor affecting the composition is the parameters of deposition (specifically, substrate temperature at deposition). One can see from the obtained results (Table 2, Fig. 5) that the element composition at deposition also varies depending on specific heat of evaporation of condensing elements (such evaporation is called secondary in relation to the primary evaporation of a target material). If we compare results of determining the element composition, given in Tables 1, 2, we can see that compared to the target the content of aluminum at Ts=300 oC increases by 2.4 times (let us compare a decrease in the aluminum content by 30 times in the evaporated target). The content of chromium in the coating at Ts=300 oC increases larger than by 3.6 times (let us compare a decrease in the chromium content by 7.75 times in the evaporated target). Thus, even the lowest Ts=300 oC is sufficient for intensive secondary evaporation of aluminum from the growth surface. For chromium, Ts=300 oC is probably optimal for the highest growth rate. For titanium and vanadium with a higher specific heat of evaporation, compared to chrome, Ts=300 oC is even more sufficient temperature for efficient deposition. In this case, the composition is determined by the more intensive evaporation of titanium from the target (compared with vanadium).
At the highest temperature Ts=700 oC, secondary evaporation (evaporation during condensate growth on the substrate) becomes significant both for aluminum and chromium (due to low specific heat of their evaporation), which causes a substantial decrease in their content in the coating.
For Ti and V, temperature Ts=700 oC is not critical yet, which determines a continuous growth in the specific content of these elements in the coating (Fig. 5).
Against the background of decreased specific content of aluminum and chromium, the specific content of niobium and molybdenum in the coating (that is elements with the highest specific heat of evaporation) increases.
Analysis of the results of studying the phase composition reveals that in accordance with theory from [20] the existence of less than five elements in the composition (as in the case of coatings obtained at low Ts=300 oC) may fail to ensure homogeneous mixing and forming the single-phase state. A single-phase state is inherent to the coatings obtained at the higher temperature Ts=500 oC and Ts=700 oC when the coating contains at least 5 transient metal elements.
Thus, the results, obtained in present research, allow us to substantiate the principles of selection of components for forming multi-element materials of the specified composition on their basis. These results can be generalized for other methods of obtaining multi-element materials because specific heat of evaporation of the elements determines the composition depending on a general physical parameter -the temperature of heating a surface area at evaporation. In terms of the new class of materials - high-entropy alloys, this is a scientific basis for the formation of high temperature resistant, self-ordering, highly solid materials. Obtaining such materials is relevant and required by the aerospace industry, as well as general-, special-purpose, and power engineering. We plan to develop the results obtained in present work in this direction; this paper reports an analysis that was conducted for the composition of one type (AlTiVCrNbMo) only, and only one value of power (5 kW) of the electron-beam gun was applied.
8. Conclusions
1. Based on the analysis of element composition of materials for the target made of the high-entropy six-element alloy AlTiVCrNbMo before and after electron-beam evaporation, we established the critical parameter (specific heat of evaporation of the elements - a fundamental magnitude, defined by the structure of atoms of these elements), which determines the composition of the formed coating under conditions of heating at electron-beam evaporation. In accordance
with specific heat of evaporation of the elements, 3 groups of elements with a characteristic change in the composition of a multi-element high-entropy alloy were distinguished.
2. It was established that at a coating deposition the element composition depends on the density of the flow of elements from the target and the processes of secondary evaporation of elements from the surface of the growing coating. The highest specific density of the flow is from the target of aluminum and chromium atoms, but even at Ts=300 oC secondary evaporation decreases specific content of aluminum in the coating.
3. It was found that for the case when a coating consists of only 4 elements (at Ts=300 oC) a single-phase coating does not form. Formation of the single-phase coating of a high-entropy alloy (based on BCC of the crystalline lattice) occurs at higher temperature Ts=500 oC when the coating contains not less than 5 elements of transient metals.
4. It was established that based on the conditions for an electron-beam process of materials formation, the obtained results can be divided into two types: those determined by the condition of evaporation of the target and those determined by the conditions of coating deposition. The density of flows of elements, evaporated from the target, is determined by their specific heat of evaporation. However, the ratio of atoms in the flow, derived in this way, may not be retained in the formed coating due to the secondary evaporation of elements from the growth surface. The results obtained allow us to substantiate the principles for selecting components in order to form on their basis the high-entropy materials with the required element and phase compositions.

1. Introduction
Polymeric composite materials based on carbon fabrics of different weaving have been widely used in the aerospace industry. In terms of indicators for specific strength and stiffness, carbon composites significantly outperform metals, however, they have substantially lower electrical conductivity. This must be taken into consideration when designing structural elements that may be exposed to direct and indirect effects from a lightning strike.
At present, there are many techniques to improve electrical conductivity of composite materials and structures made from them. For example, using carbon fibers with high enhanced electrical conductivity, introduction of conductive layers to composite structure, modification of a binding material employing current conductive nanoparticles, spraying of current conductive particles onto a reinforcing material or articles, etc. In addition to lightning protection systems, composites with enhanced electrical conductivity can be applied in heating elements, to shield the equipment and in other areas [1].
The application of the above methods makes it possible to create multifunctional composite materials that possess the
required combination of mechanical, thermal-physical, and electrical characteristics.
Given the extending scope of application of composites in industry and increasing requirements to multifunc-tionality, it is a relevant task to develop reliable methods for determining their mechanical, thermal-physical, and electrical properties. At present, determining the electrical characteristics of composites is typically based on using experimental methods. These methods make it possible to obtain reliable results, but at the same time they are not effective enough when selecting the optimal structure of a composite that requires choosing from a large number of options. It is obvious that the existence of reliable calculation methods will make it possible to deal more effectively with the challenge of creating multifunctional composite materials.
