Yashodhan Purandare
Yashodhan joined the Nanotechnology Centre for PVD Research in October 2006 as a postdoctoral researcher
Professor Arutiun Ehiasarian
Arutiun is one of the pioneers of high power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) technology.
Advanced PVD coatings
MERI is renowned for the development of nanoscale multilayer Physical Vapour Deposited (PVD) coatings and for the development of the HIPIMS technique
The National HIPIMS Technology Centre
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering is the latest development in PVD coating deposition technology
Coating Substrate Adhesion Enhancement
The surface of metallic substrate is engineered by plasma cleaning to remove contamination and metal ion implantation to enhance wetting of the subsequent coating layer
PVD coating development
We offer a complete coating development package giving a choice of composition, architecture (monolayer or multilayers) and PVD deposition techniques to suit specific needs
Plasma Diagnostics
Adapt and expand the capability of existing of plasma diagnostic techniques to the environment of the HIPIMS discharge
PVD coating by HIPIMS
We have comprehensive expertise in HIPIMS pretreatment and coating technology. Our deposition systems are available for pilot industrial scale production, process development, test of concept and fundamental research.
ICIS Development
Inductively Coupled Impulse Sputtering (ICIS) – ionised sputtering without magnetic field for deposition of magnetic materials and alloys
