Current techniques for depositing decorative and/or protective metal coatings onto metal substrates either involve 'wet' methods, thermal spraying or commercial PVD. Wet methods such as electroplating are used to deposit metals such as platinum, nickel and chromium

This project seeks to gain fundamental understanding of the oxidation process of TiN, TiAlN and TiAlCrYN based hard coatings at elevated temperatures, in the range of 700-950 degrees celsius

As part of an ongoing programme of fundamental studies, the plasma produced during the coating cycle is being studied in an attempt to link plasma properties to physical film properties

To meet continuous demands for improved performance of the state of art hard coatings for tribological applications it is necessary to incorporate novel plasma assisted deposition technology into the present coating equipment providing better control over the energy of film forming species

Sheffield Hallam University is set to deliver world class research and innovation capability to drive next generation physical vapour deposition (PVD) processing following major investment in full digitisation of equipment and technology

MERI is renowned for the development of nanoscale multilayer Physical Vapour Deposited (PVD) coatings and for the development of the HIPIMS technique

This 'Innovatial' project focuses on the development of protective coatings for a new generation of lightweight titanium gamma aluminide materials that are in high demand in modern aircraft and cars

Case studies and research conducted at Thin Films Research Centre

Ultra high vacuum PVD system with three magnetron sources and one UHV arc source

The DTI-Link Surface Engineering project 'Multicoat' was initiated in June 1995 to research and develop industrial scale structured PVD hard coatings
