PVD, magnetron sputtering, HiPIMS, vacuum arc evaporation, thin films, hard coatings, vacuum plasma surface treatment, mechanical properties, tribological properties, corrosion and tribocorrosion

The area of competence of the team covers a broad spectrum of vacuum-plasma surface treatments of metals and alloys, thin film deposition and research on their structure, mechanical and tribological properties and corrosion resistance.
We have long-standing experience in plasma nitriding with an active screen (ASPN), the deposition of wear-resistant coatings on tools by reactive magnetron sputtering and vacuum arc evaporation. In particular, our experience relates to coatings on woodworking tools.
