The Chair of Design and CAD at the University of Bayreuth intends to procure a combined PVD-PACVD coating system.

A coating system suitable for research purposes is to be procured, which is based on physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) as process technology.

With these methods, it is possible to deposit a wide range of materials on substrates as a thin layer (up to a few micrometers layer thickness) by physical and/or plasma-activated chemical processes. The substrates are test specimens and technical components of device, machine, apparatus and vehicle construction up to medium dimensions. For the planned research projects, cathode dusting (sputtering) is required as a PVD process.

The plant to be procured must be designed by the manufacturer for the above-mentioned process technologies and areas of application and must be state-of-the-art. For the planned research projects, tribologically effective coatings (friction and wear reduction), biocompatible coatings and coatings that allow the integration of additional functions into surfaces, such as condition monitoring, measurement or energy harvesting, are of particular interest. They are used, for example, in drive technology, energy technology and medical technology.
