Plansee at PSE 2024 in Erfurt
The 19th International Conference on Plasma Surface Engineering was held in Erfurt, Germany from September 2–5. The conference provided an opportunity to present the latest progress in the research and development of plasma technology and surface engineering, as well as the potential applications for industry.
Austria in the spotlight
In addition to the special topics, this years conference focused on Austrian companies and experts. Plansee represented its portfolio of targets for PVD applications during a country session and the industrial exhibition on Tuesday, September 3rd.
We would like to thank all our customers for the fascinating discussions on our booth!

The conference topics of PSE 2024 focused on plasma and ion sources, process technologies, and applications and simulations in plasma technology. Interesting discussions took place in the two workshops "Plasma surface engineering enables sustainability" and "Hydrogen technologies".
Plansee took part in the expert lectures and poster presentations from the Christian Doppler Laboratory at TU Wien:
- Helmut Riedl, Assessing hydrogen diffusion in protective coating materials (lecture)
- Norma Salvadores Farran, Insulating and structural properties of reactively grown AlN and Al2O3 thin films (lecture)
- Rainer Hahn, Fracture characteristics of Si-containing ternary and quaternary transition metal diborides (lecture)
- Sophie Richter, Exploring the phase space and oxidation mechanisms of TM-X-C (X = Al, Si) thin films (lecture)
- Arno Gitschthaler, Assessing the fatigue life of Ti-Al-N coated Ti-6Al-4V by residual stress design (poster)
Results from the bilateral collaborations with TU Wien were presented in the following contributions:
- Ludwig Enzlberger, Retention of Crystallinity of Thermo-electric Fe2VAl-based Thin Films Separated via DCMS and HiPIMS (poster)
- Bálint Hajas, Non-reactive Magnetron Sputtering Separation of Ti-Al-N Films (lecture)
- Alexander Kirnbauer, Impact of the Al-content on the Structure, Mechanical Properties, and Thermal Stability of (Al,Ta,Ti,V,Zr) Nitride Films (lecture)
