Description
Hard coatings produced by physical vapour deposition (PVD) are used in a wide range of applications. Coated cutting tools for instance enable more severe cutting conditions and/or longer life, resulting in lower cost per workpiece.
The development and improvement of such coatings can involve combinatorial approaches, but is still usually done through conventional trial and error. Technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) or image analysis help to generate a broad dataset that can be used as a starting point for future developments based on machine learning. This talk will show some examples of how this is already being used.
