Symposium Chairs This symposium will focus on the industrial manufacturing and application aspects of various coating, thin film and surface engineering technologies. These include coatings for automotive and aerospace applications, for machining advanced materials, hollow-cathode and atmospheric plasma coatings and large area coatings. Also of particular interest are surface treatments before and after coating to enhance the performance of engineered surfaces, hybrid coating techniques, innovations in manufacturing practices and advances in industrial PVD&CVD deposition equipment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G1. Innovations in Surface Coatings and Treatments
Session Chairs: Papers concerning novel deposition processes, novel coatings, surface treatments and technologies are solicited. Emphasis is put on recent developments in hard, superhard nitrides, carbides, carbonitrides, borides, oxides, nano structured composites and multi-phased coatings using innovative methods for deposition and for practical applications.
Invited Speakers:
G2. Coatings for Automotive and Aerospace Applications
Session Chairs: Metallurgical coatings for automotive and aerospace applications are a rapidly expanding field. This seminar will gather most of the top players in the field. It solicits contributions from automotive engineers involved in the introduction of coatings, coating solution and technology providers and scientists from research institutions and universities active in the field. Scientific and technical papers on PVD, CVD and thermal spraying addressing coating development, coating characterization and coating tribology and application are encouraged.

Papers dealing with fundamental aspects of, and the latest technological developments in, non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasmas, hollow cathode discharges and hybrid plasma processing are solicited. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Invited speakers: Roland Gesche, Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Berlin, roland.gesche@fbh-berlin.de, “An Integrated Microwave Atmospheric Plasma Source” Rory Wolf, Enercon Industries Corporation, USA, rwolf@enerconmail.com, “Plasma Surface Modification of Inks, Coatings, and Adhesives – The Interfacial Effects” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E4/G4. Coatings for machining advanced materials and advanced manufacturing methods Session Chairs: Mirjam Arndt, OC Oerlikon Balzers AG, Liechtenstein, mirjam.arndt@oerlikon.com Xueyuan Nie, University of Windsor, Canada, xnie@uwindsor.ca This session should focus on recent developments in coatings, deposited by PVD, HPPMS, CVD and hybrid coating technology, to fulfill the demands in the manufacturing industry, i.e. machining of CFRP/Ti, CFRP/Al, titanium and nickel based alloys, dry machining, machining austempered ductile iron (ADI) or CGI, hot forging, forming of hardened steels and lightweight materials, die casting, and plastic injection molding. Current coatings must be tuned to operate effectively under extreme conditions like high temperature, high pressure, intense chemical or mechanical wear, and a combination of those. Contributions should emphasize tribological and wear aspects of hard, superhard, nanocomposite and lubricious coatings with respect to their mechanical and physical properties. Invited Speakers: Ahmet Alpas, University of Windsor, Canada, aalpas@uwindsor.ca, “Carbon Based Coatings for Aluminum and Magnesium Alloy Manufacturing Processes” Johan Bohlmark, Sandvik Tooling Sverige AB, Sweden, johan.bohlmark@sandvik.com, "Coating and Tool Wear in Composite Machining” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G5. Coatings, Pre-Treatment, Post Treatment and Duplex Technology Session Chairs:
Nazlim Bagcivan,
RWTH Aachen, Germany,
bagcivan@iot.rwth-aachen.de Papers are solicited that deal with the latest developments in thermochemical diffusion pre-treatments, other substrate/surface pre-treatment methods, and plasma-assisted coating (or coating post-treatment) processes which incorporate novel, or integrated, treatment technology combinations - whether diffusional, electrochemical, physical, mechanical, or some other approach. Topics include:
Papers dealing with aspects relating to fundamental/diagnostic studies, properties, processes, performance, equipment and industrial applications for such treatments are all welcomed. Invited speakers: Markus Salathe, Oerlikon Balzers, Germany, markus.salathe@oerlikon.com, “Duplex-Treatment for Forming Tools” Thomas Lampke, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, thomas.lampke@mb.tu-chemnitz.de, “Plasma Anodisation” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . G6. Advances in Industrial PVD & CVD Deposition Equipment
Session Chairs: This session focuses on recent developments in PVD and CVD coating technology including plasma CVD and diamond deposition. Contributions from industrial coating equipment manufacturers as those from research groups are also welcome to the session. Contributions should emphasize on new technologies or developments to enhance the properties of thin films used for either tribological, optical, electrical or other applications. Invited speaker: Joerg Vetter, Sulzer Metaplas, Joerg.Vetter@sulzer.com, “PVD Systems for Dedicated Hard Coatings: Challenges and Solutions” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
