The hydrophobic alloy film is an innovative material with unique properties that open up new horizons for application in various industries. Its manufacturing process includes several key stages that ensure high quality and reliability of the final product.

The presented film made of a hydrophobic alloy, as well as the method of its production. This film consists of components such as Al, Cu, O and at least one element from the group including Fe, Co, Ni and Cr, or Ti, Zr, O, and also at least one element from the same group Fe, Co, Ni and Cr. The content of Al and Ti varies from 40 at. % to 70 at. %. For Cu and Zr, the content is from 10 at. % to 40 at. %. The total proportion of at least one element from the group containing Fe, Co, Ni and Cr is in the range from 10 to 30 at. %. The O level is from 10 at. % to 30 at. %. The film of the hydrophobic alloy demonstrates a quasi-crystalline structure and contains nanoparticles.

The hydrophobic alloy film is an innovative material with exceptional water-repellent properties, making it indispensable in various areas of industry and technology. The main component of this alloy is a combination of metals with a high level of hydrophobicity, which is achieved through a unique alloying method and subsequent surface treatment.

The process of manufacturing such a film begins with a careful selection of the source materials, which must have the necessary physical and chemical properties. Then the alloy undergoes high-temperature extrusion, which ensures uniform distribution of the components and improves the structure of the material. After that, the film is covered with a special hydrophobic layer, protecting against moisture and increasing the service life of the product.

Hydrophobic film demonstrates exceptional qualities such as moisture resistance, mechanical strength and durability. Such films can be used in construction, electronics, textile industry and other areas where protection from environmental influences is required.

Thus, the hydrophobic alloy film not only helps improve the functional properties of products, but also opens up new opportunities for developing innovative solutions in various fields, emphasizing the importance of modern technologies in the pursuit of sustainability and efficiency.
