The Surface Engineering Group at Manchester Met can trace an unbroken history of achievements back to the early 1970s. Led by Prof Peter Kelly, the group specialises in the development and applications of the magnetron sputtering physical vapour deposition technique and are the leading academic exponents of this technique in the UK. Our goal is to generate new understanding of coating materials and deposition processes and use that knowledge to develop new applications, components and devices with novel or enhanced properties, which support economic and social development at regional, national and international levels.
Our dedicated laboratory houses eight magnetron sputtering systems, supported by an extensive suite of testing and analysis facilities. Our work is highly applied in nature, and generally focused on the end use of the coating/substrate system as our coating equipment ranges in scale from lab scale ‘material discovery’ systems to full size pilot production systems. With a strength of seven academic staff, four PDRAs, several PhD students and visiting researchers, we collaborate and engage with industry to understand their issues.
