February 29th, Eindhoven Overview of deposition technologies Introduction In todays industry several deposition technologies are applicated on (semi-) manufactured products and parts. Deposition technologies can give interesting possibilities for functionalisation of surfaces. This course is conveniently explaining several important deposition technologies as applied in industrial processes. Depending on the kind of deposition technology, it can be used for metals, polymers, glass, fibers, woven materials, ceramics and so on. Content of this course In this interesting course the deposition technologies, applications, possibilities, limitations and (negative) side effects will be highlighted. The following deposition technologies will be explained: 1. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition, sputtering, evaporation and Ion Beam) 2. CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition, Plasma assisted, Atmospheric CVD) 3. ALD and nanocoatings 4. Galvanics and Electroless deposition 5. Thermal spraying (flame, arc, plasma, HVOF) Comparisons between the deposition technologies will be made from the viewpoint of the kind of process, resulting (structure of the) coating, yields, adhesion and so on. Also practical cases are explained and can be discussed.     Program and location Part 1:    9:00   12:00:  Basic definitions, knowhow and understanding of depositiontechnologies, PVD, CVD Lunch:   12:00 13:00 Part 2:    13:00 16:30: ALD, Nanocoatings, Galvanics, Electroless deposition, Thermal spraying                 Discussions   For whom is this course interesting? Engineers, (sales or production) managers and technologist of all kind of departments looking for or working with coatings on base materials, (semi-manufactured) products or (parts of) machines. Also for people working with deposition technologies and looking for new methods to deposit layers on surfaces.
