Trip to IMPACT COATINGS AB

I have change to go to thin films industry called 'IMPACT COATINGS AB'. I have seen 4 coating machines. One machine is for coating earring which special one are used for first pierce to make hole on your ear. The earring have to coating with some element that do not interact with your body for protect infection on your ear.

This industry is one part of Plasma & Coatings Physics in Linkoping University. They have a big coating machines that have around 4 chambers for coating with different material. They can coating the cover of cellphone for look like mirror and can show digital display. In the house, you do not allow to touch everything without glove because you don't know which thing have to clean and go to the chamber. Their industry do morn than I say, they coat small equipment, i.e gear of car. I think their work is so interesting.

Hello,

I belive that Impact Coatings
are involved in the new surface coating material "Maxphase" to replace gold as a contact material in electrical contacts.

Very,very interesting!
