Live Q&A Moderated Discussion for all presenters from Session 1: Advanced Plasma-based Processes for Functional Coatings I, this includes:

• Paradigm shift in magnetron sputtering: from gas-ion to metal-ion-controlled irradiation of the growing film
• High performance coating technologies for extreme environments and low carbon energies
• DC, Pulsed-DC and RF magnetron sputtering of titanium and graphite, with and without magnets
• Influence of the HiPIMS discharge current on the plasma ionization, electrical, bond-structural and tribological properties of the carbon ultra-thin films
• Advanced HIPIMS coatings for a next step in tool performance!
