Qilin Fu demonstrated HIPPOCAMP project at the 6th Surface Engineering Seminar hosted by Swedish Production Society at KTH.

By introducing the HIPIMS technology, advanced surface generation by our coating technology shows impressive improvement on surface quality and roughness, over conventional technology such as arc discharge evaporation and DC sputtering. Recent advances in HIPIMS power supply is demonstrated with higher discharge power while suppressing arcing discharge. It has opened more possibilities of using HIPIMS technology for other types of coatings. The concept of HIPPOCAMP has attracted other researchers’ interest with basic research focusing at the physical principle of damping mechanism in materials.
