Session 12: PVD: Tribological Applications
Location: Captiva A/B (Orlando Airport Marriott)
(Please check final room assignments on-site).
Session Description: Thin films and coatings produced via Physical Vapor Deposition processes provide surface enhancements in tribological applications where high and abrasion resistance, low friction, and enhanced tool life and durability are desired. These coatings are also minimizing the need for lubrication in high-speed cutting operations. Nanostructured coatings offer superior tribological properties.
