Symposium Chairs
André Anders, Lawrence Berkeley National
Laboratory, USA,
aanders@lbl.gov Symposium B focuses on surface engineering and materials science of hard coatings. Papers are solicited that address the fundamentals of deposition processes, properties of new single, multilayer, nanocomposite and nanostructured hard coatings, process-structure-property correlations, substrate-surface effects, modeling, and hard coating industrial practices . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . B1. PVD Coatings and Technologies Session Chairs
Steven B. Fairchild, Air Force Research Lab, USA,
steven.Fairchild@wpafb.af.mil
This session solicits
papers related to sputter-deposition, arc discharges (cathodic
and anodic), laser-ablation and electron beam coatings
(with and without additional ionization) and combination
of PVD methods. We welcome papers on in situ
measurements, process modeling, plasma transport in
electromagnetic fields, multi-phase coatings, gradient
and nanostructured coatings, hard and superhard
coatings. Applications include but are not limited to
wear-protective coatings for components and tools,
low-friction coatings, high-temperature wear-resistant
coatings, erosion- and corrosion-resistant coatings,
optical films, biomaterials, decorative coatings, and
materials for energy applications. Invited Speakers

Klaus Böbel, Bosch GmbH, Germany,
klaus.boebel@de.bosch.com Papers are solicited that address the relationship between deposition methods and wear behavior, hardness, friction coefficient and hydrogen content. Deposition technologies include a wide range of CVD, PVD and their combination, including arc-deposition, ion sources, laser assisted deposition, HIPIMS, and ion beam deposition.

Jörg Paulitsch,
Vienna University of Technology, Austria,
paulitsch@tuwien.ac.at
Advanced coatings can be synthesized by designing their
microstructure and architecture at the nanoscale
including monolithic, multicomponent, and layered
structures. The use of material selection concepts,
nanoscale design strategies, and improved plasma
deposition methods applying various energetic particles
and activation processes enable the fabrication of
thin-film materials with high hardness and toughness,
controlled friction, and increased thermal or chemical
stability. This session emphasizes on advanced
nanostructured and nanocomposite coatings, their
synthesis, characterization, modeling, novel design
strategies for nanostructured coatings with improved
properties, and their applications. Invited Speakers

Rostislav Daniel,
Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria,
Rostislav.Daniel@unileoben.ac.at The session focuses on knowledge-based concepts for the selection of novel materials and architectures of next-generation hard coatings to withstand severe conditions in tool, automotive, and aerospace applications. This includes but is not limited to the selection of suitable alloying elements, the use of interlayers and multilayers, and the adjustment of stresses and stress gradients during coating growth, or by post-deposition treatment techniques. We encourage experimental and modeling studies on chemical and structural design approaches for hard coatings, degradation and failure of coated surfaces during mechanical, thermal or corrosive exposure, and development of new hard coatings with additional smart properties, e.g., damage or failure sensing, in-process stress relaxation or generation, self-redesign of microstructure, arresting or self-healing of cracks.

Björn Alling,
Linköping University, Sweden,
bjoal@ifm.liu.se The session aims at bringing together computational and theoretical researchers with experimentalists in the field of the design and development of functional thin films. The papers should address topics such as kinetics of thin film growth, prediction and explanation of structure, properties, and thermodynamics of surfaces, interfaces, and thin-film material systems. Computational methods include ab initio calculations, molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, thermodynamic modeling, finite elements simulations, or combination of these in a multiscale approach. Experimental characterization techniques may be static or time-resolved. Papers combining computational and experimental activities are particularly welcome. Invited Speakers
