Oxidation Studies of PVD Coatings
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
P+CVD
Nowadays, coatings with good wear and corrosion resistance consist in high thickness Ni or hard Cr coatings from electrochemical processes
Low Pressure Plasma Nitriding
The project involved the development of a nitriding process to work at low pressures, achieving high plasma densities and degree of activation of nitrogen
ALTICUT
This project is concerned with development of coating systems, steels and tool geometries with particular suitability for the machining of titanium and aluminium based alloys
Multicoat
The DTI-Link Surface Engineering project 'Multicoat' was initiated in June 1995 to research and develop industrial scale structured PVD hard coatings
