Progress of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering for Deposition of Hard Coatings
High power impulse magnetron sputtering (HIPIMS) is an emerging high-ionization physical vapor deposition technology which was has gained substantial interests. It utilizes pulses of high peak power density (2-3 orders higher than the conventional magnetron sputtering) and low duty cycle (0.5%-10%) leading to high ionization of metal atoms. This mode has distinguished advantages during deposition: high adhesive strength
controllable microstructure and phase structure
and decreased residual stress
etc. This review covers the basic principle of HIPIMS
the characteristic of films & coatings deposited by HIPIMS
and the developments of HIPIMS technologies in the recent 10 years: optimization of coating-substrate interface in the coated cutting tools
deposition of high-performance hard coatings
nano-layered/nanocomposite coatings by hybrid HIPIMS
