> ''' The main research activity of the Department of Thin Films and Surfaces are hard coatings for protection of tools and machine parts against wear. Hard coatings considerably decrease both wear and friction, therefore the tool lifetime increases several times.<
><
>Within the department there is the Hard Coatings Center, operating since 1985, where tools for our industrial partners are protected. Using different coating machines we offer the deposition of various PVD coatings: TiN, CrN, TiAlN, TiAlSiN and aCN, as well as others upon request. In the department, six researchers and four technicians are employed. <
