Plansee at ICMCTF 2025
The 51st ICMCTF will take place from May 11 to 16, 2025 in San Diego, USA. The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films is the leading conference in the field of thin film deposition, characterization and advanced surface technology. In the Grand Exhibit Hall at booth 322, we will present our customers a selection of sputtering targets and arc cathodes for hard coating, which are characterized by highest material purity, high density and a fine-grained microstructure.
In addition to interesting poster presentations and scientific talks, you can also look forward to many interesting discussions at our booth.
Plansee's goal is to develop PVD target materials that give customers real competitive advantages. As the world market leader, we are a reliable partner for the manufacture of sputtering targets and arc cathodes. Our global sales network guarantees the availability of our products and provides expert, local service for customers. Continuously investing in in-house production enables us to offer a high degree of flexibility, availability, and quality.
By partnering with industry experts and scientists when developing new technologies, we set standards in the industry and ensure that coating solutions will continue to be developed for growth markets the world over. Our expertise in powder metallurgy forms the basis for all our activities. The PVD coating solutions we develop with our customers are based on target materials like chromium, titanium, aluminum, zirconium, copper, tungsten, molybdenum, composites and their alloys as well as ceramic materials such as boride and carbide. Plansee offers all target materials from this range in every OEM target version.
Do you have any questions? Please feel free to contact our team for more information.

The technical symposia at ICMCTF 2025 focused on processes, materials, characterization, modeling, and industrial applications.
The key symposia topics for Plansee included:
- Protective coatings and coatings for high-temperature applications
- Functional thin films and surfaces
- Tribology and mechanics of coatings and surfaces
- Surface engineering—Applied research and industrial applications
Sustainable surface engineering was the specific focus of the topical symposia at ICMCTF 2025. New approaches to the sustainable development of surface engineering were presented in the form of coatings for batteries, hydrogen applications, solar thermal energy conversion, thermoelectric energy conversion, and (photo) electrocatalysis as well as circular strategies for surface engineering.
