Contributed by Alina AgUero, Ph. D Research Scientist, Cametoid Limited, Whitby, Ontario, Canada. llhe 1992 International Conference on Metallurgi-cal Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) took place in San Diego, California. This was the first conference in which the Vacuum Metallurgy and Thin Films Divisions of the American Vacuum Society joined efforts to broaden the scope of the traditional International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings. The conference incorporated both fundamental and applied research topics as well as commercial applications of the emerging technologies. A number of experts in coating and thin films presented their latest results. The plenary talk delivered by Dr. RPH Chang (Director, Materials Research Center, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois) was on the nucleation of diamond films using carbon clusters. The talk opened with an overview of the state of the art in the deposition of carbon coatings and ended with a description of a unique method for depositing diamond by using C70 clusters or" Buckyballs" as nucleation sites. The clusters are deposited on Si substrates via sublimation. The diamond films are grown using microwave plasma deposition by biasing the substrate with respect to the plasma. The use of C70 enhanced nucleation by a factor of 10, with similar results obtained for metal and glass substrates. A model to explain these results, shown in Figure 1a and 1b, was proposed based on the unique structure of the c7 () molecule, which makes possible the nucleation and epitaxy of diamond. An investigation of the microstructural stability of nickel aluminide coatings on a nickel-based superalloy, during thermal exposure after coating deposition, was conducted by edge-on transmission electron microscopy. The coatings were deposited by pack cementation. As explained by Dr. William Gale (University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom), at the deposition temperature, aluminum from the powder mixture into which the blades were packed diffuses into the substrate, a single crystal'Y'strengthened nickel-base superalloy, thereby generating a high activity nickel alumnide. The results indicated that between 850-950" C, precipitation of the'Y'phase from the~ phase matrix of the coating occurred. This is attributed to an ageing process caused by solubility modifications and, to a lesser degree, by loss of aluminum from the coating surface. At 1100" C,
