The 22nd International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films, sponsored by the Vacuum Metallurgyand Thin Films Divisions of the American Vacuum Society, was held in San Diego, California, April 24-28, 1995.The program has continued to represent the combined interest of the divisions in eight symposia and one topicalconference with more than 500 invited, contributed and poster papers. The program included special highlights suchas the plenary session, an evening forum, several workshops and short courses.
The proceedings contain 245 papers that were peer reviewed and accepted on the basis of technical merit andtimeliness of submission. As has been the practice since 1987, the proceedings are being published in special issues ofeither Surface and Coatings Technology or Thin Solid Films. The papers from Symposia A (Coatings for Use at HighTemperature), B (Hard Coatings and Vapor Deposition Technology), E (Tribological Coatings/Surface Modifications)(except E4), G (Applications, Manufacturing and Equipment), and the topical conference on Advances in CoatingLight-weight Alloys and Materials, will be published in Surface and Coatings Technology; while papers from SymposiaC (Optical Thin Films), D (Diamond and Related Materials), F (Advances in Coating and Thin Film Characterization),H (Advanced Materials in Microelectronics), and the session on Mechanical Processes on the Atomic Scale (E4) fromSymposium E (Tribological Coatings/Surface Modifications) will be published in Thin Solid Films.
