Activities

The main research area of the department are hard protective coatings prepared by physical vapor deposition techniques (PVD). The topics of our work are:

• Nanostructured hard coatings
• Low-temperature hard coatings
• High-power impulse magnetron sputtering
• Combinatorial processing of hard coating composition
• Defects in hard coatings
• Coatings with low friction coefficient
• Tribocorrosion analytics of hard coatings
