1. Hollow Cathode Deposition of Thin Films
Abstract : Thin films of metals and compounds have a very wide range of applications today. Many of the deposition methods used for the production of such films utilize plasma to support the growth the film, e.g. by the supply of energy and the enhancement of reactivity. READ MORE

2. Arc evaporated wear-resistant nitride coatings for metal cutting tools
Abstract : This Thesis is dedicated to increase the understanding of arc evaporated PVD coatings as wear resistant layers on metal cutting tools. The approach is to study coatings that have excellent performance in metal cutting applications, specifically (Ti,Al)N and (Ti,Si)N in terms of thermal and mechanical properties, and to correlate this to their microstructure, stress state, and composition.

3. Effect of metal ion irradiation on hard coating synthesis by physical vapor deposition
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to understand and control how the ions in the plasma influence the film growth during thin film deposition processes. Two physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques are investigated, namely magnetron sputtering and cathodic arc evaporation. READ MORE

4. Physical vapor deposition and thermal stability of hard oxide coatings
Abstract : The state-of-the-art tools for machining metals are primarily based on a metal-ceramic composite (WC-Co) coated with different combinations of carbide, nitride, and oxide coatings. Combinations of these coating materials are optimized to withstand specific wear conditions. READ MORE
