International Conference on Fundamentals and Industrial Applications of HIPIMS 2023

This year the 13th International Conference on HIPIMS will take place in Venlo, jointly hosted by Sheffield Hallam University and the Fraunhofer IST. The aim of the conference on High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) is to promote novel plasma-based technologies. Scientists from all over the world will exchange information on the latest results and trends in the field of innovative plasma surface technology as well as on fundamental scientific aspects in a variety of lectures.

The conference will focus on the following topics:

  • Generation of HIPIMS plasmas
  • Coating growth and performance
  • Plasma diagnostics, discharge physics and modelling
  • Reactive and non-reactive HIPIMS processes
  • Industrial applications of HIPIMS processes
  • HIPIMS systems and hardware
  • Conventional plasma coating, plasma surface treatments and non-plasma advanced surface engineering
  • Panel discussion Quo Vadis Surface Engineering? - Surface Engineering for Hydrogen Economy. Opportunities and challenges: the industry perspective.

This year Dr. Ralf Bandorf represents the Fraunhofer IST as Conference Co-Chairman in the Organizing Committee. In addition, the institute is part of the organizing team as a scientific partner through Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph Herrmann.

In addition, this year the Fraunhofer IST is again participating with several contributions to the scientific program of the conference. In the following we give you an overview of all the institute's participations:
