The invention relates to the technical filed of preparation of composite coatings and discloses a preparation
system and method for a multi-element
composite coating. The preparation
system comprises a plurality of arc sources, a
magnetic field pipeline and a vacuum cavity, wherein the multiple arc sources are used for arcing various target materials respectively to generate various kinds of
plasma correspondingly and making the various kinds of
plasma move; the
magnetic field pipeline is used for evenly mixing the various kinds of
plasma through
magnetic field constraint and making the various kinds of plasma reach the surface of a base body to be machined at the same time, and one end of the magnetic field pipeline is communicated with the corresponding arc source; the vacuum cavity is communicated with the other end of the magnetic field pipeline, the base body to be machined is placed in the vacuum cavity, and the various kinds of plasma enters the
vacuum chamber and impacts the surface of the base body to be machined under the action of bias
voltage, so that the multi-element
coating is formed. According to the preparation
system and method for the multi-element
composite coating, the plasma generated by the multiple pure
metal target materials is evenly mixed through the magnetic field mixing technique, and the surface of the base body to be machined is impacted at an accelerated speed through the plasma, so that the multi-element
alloy coating is formed, and the purpose of preparing the
coating which is stable in performance and uniform in element at a low cost is achieved.
