Nowadays, coatings with good wear and corrosion resistance consist in high thickness Ni or hard Cr coatings from electrochemical processes

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

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

Papers available for the Interface micro structure engineering by high power impulse magnetron sputtering for the enhancement of adhesion

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
