See the comparison to learn why HiPIMS delivers smoother, lower-defect coatings and provides better protection under high loads.
TiN is the classic golden PVD coating for tooling—proven, versatile, and cost-effective. With HiPIMS, TiN becomes significantly more capable: denser, smoother, and with fewer defects.
Discover what HiPIMS TiN delivers in real-world applications.
RUBIG is expanding its PVD portfolio with HiPIMS (High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering) – a state-of-the-art sub-variant of magnetron sputtering. The core: a latest-generation HiPIMS generator delivers pulse currents of up to 1000 A at 1200 V. The extremely high plasma density increases the ionization degree of the sputtered species to over 90% – comparable to arc evaporation, yet with very few defects. The result is very smooth surfaces and highly densified, hard coating systems with excellent wear and corrosion protection.
In HiPIMS, the sputter targets are pulsed with very high power for short periods. This generates a plasma with an exceptionally high ion content. The ionized coating material is precisely accelerated toward the workpiece, resulting in:
HiPIMS is regarded worldwide as the state of the art for demanding hard and functional coatings. In combination with a next-generation power supply, we unlock a broad parameter window: from adhesion-optimized interlayers through ultra-hard tribological coatings to low-friction top layers—precisely tailored to your substrate and process.
From precision parts to tooling: next-generation HiPIMS/PVD.
