HIPIMS honour for MERI
A young scientist who has used cutting-edge plasma technology to boost jet engine performance has scooped a top international award hailing him as a scientific pioneer
MERI Student Day a Huge Success!
his year’s MERI Student Seminar Day saw a record number of 2nd year research students giving a talk, 17 in total. The talks were of a very high standard and at the end of the day two 1st prizes were awarded to Helga Razaghi and Itai Vutabwarova
HIPIMS technology underpins commercial success
High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering is a technology which uses short, very high power pulses to apply protective coatings to a range of different surfaces
Powering up for new HIPIMS research centre
Sheffield Hallam University has established a HIPIMS Research Centre with German research institute Fraunhofer IST to lead the global development of the physical vapour deposition (PVD) process
StirCoat Announcement
Sheffield Hallam University is pleased to announce that, in partnership with TWI (formerly The Welding Institute) and Ionbond UK Ltd, it has won a collaborative research project supported by Innovative UK to developer coatings for friction stir welding (FSW) tools.
