New production methods and measurement techniques for passive damping coatings - Optimization of the damping performance of HiPIMS composites

Many technical applications are subject to intense self-induced vibrations which can result in structural damage and loss of functionality. Currently, a new process for manufacturing special anti-vibration coatings made of nano-composites is being investigated, where the coating is applied directly onto the relevant parts. In this paper, a series of testing methods is described which are used for accurate characterization of the coatings, eventually leading to optimized manufacturability and performance.
