From 1999-2002, the Raman Spectroscopy of PVD Coatings project aimed to develop a Raman based method of monitoring the quality of coatings produced by the Surface Engineering Group and monitor stress and wear induced changes in hard coatings

A training school on HIPIMS was organised by Professor Arutiun Ehiasarian to address the need for High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) fundamentals and research findings to reach a wider audience

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.

Coating microstructure characterisation is key in accelerating product development. It supports product development as a link between process and product performance.
