14th International Conference on Fundamentals and Industrial Applications of HIPIMS 2024

This event is supported by IOM3.

Following a number of successful years, the Joint Sheffield Hallam University-Fraunhofer IST HIPIMS Research Centre is pleased to invite you to the fourteenth edition of the International Conference on HIPIMS from 24-27 June 2024.

The traditional scope of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering plasma and coating technology is now extended to include a broad range of technologies for plasma coating, plasma surface treatments and non-plasma advanced surface engineering.

Registration deadline: 14th June 2024

The conference aspires to:

  • Promote High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS) as a novel technology for surface modification and coating deposition
  • Provide a scientific forum to discuss the fundamentals of plasma science and thin film growth and exchange ideas about new industrial applications of HIPIMS
  • Bring together the surface engineering communities for plasma coating, plasma surface treatments and non-plasma advanced surface engineering
  • Connect the academic research community with the industrial world to foster progress of plasma-based technologies
  • Panel discussion 'Quo Vadis Surface Engineering?' on the topic of 'Surface Engineering in the Digital Age: Transformative Opportunities'

The conference offers three tutorial courses approved for CPD by the IOM3. Take advantage of learning from these outstanding, internationally recognized instructors and get answers to your practical vacuum coating problems.

IOM3 members are eligible for a 5% discount on the registration fee.
