Multicoat
The DTI-Link Surface Engineering project 'Multicoat' was initiated in June 1995 to research and develop industrial scale structured PVD hard coatings
Lesker UHV Sputtering Rig
Ultra high vacuum PVD system with three magnetron sources and one UHV arc source
Coating characterisation and testing
Evaluation of coating performance in standardised tests allows realistic comparisons to state of the art. It is essential for quality control
P+CVD
Nowadays, coatings with good wear and corrosion resistance consist in high thickness Ni or hard Cr coatings from electrochemical processes
