PVD coatings are considered to be extremely durable.
They are more rigid and corrosion-resistant than other metal coatings that use electroplating.
PVD is known to be the most durable coating available in the market.
The quality of PVD coatings is superior and is bound to outlast any other traditional type of finish.
These coatings are highly resistant to corrosion, scratches, tarnishing, and wear.
They provide a high-quality, durable finish and are considered low maintenance.
How Durable is PVD Coating? 5 Key Benefits You Need to Know
1. Superior Durability
The process of PVD coatings allows for a high level of control over the density, structure, and stoichiometry of the films.
Specific processes and materials can be used to develop desired attributes such as adhesion, lubricity, or hardness.
2. Enhanced Resistance
For products that endure harsh wear conditions, it is important to consider the selection of the coating material, thickness, and substrate hardness.
Harder substrates and thicker PVD coatings are recommended for products that may be exposed to gouging or localized pressure.
3. Versatile Applications
PVD coatings are also highly resistant to tarnishing and corrosion, making them suitable for decorative finishes that do not fade.
They can be used on a wide range of items, including watches, door handles, plumbing fixtures, marine fixtures, machining tools, knives, and drill bits.
PVD coatings, such as titanium nitride, offer superior hardness, durability, and resistance to wear.
4. Safety and Adhesion
In terms of safety, PVD coatings are considered safe to use.
They adhere best to chrome plated materials, but can also be deposited directly onto stainless steel and titanium metals.
The surface finish required for PVD coatings depends on the desired finish, with polished or mirror surfaces used for polished finishes and brushed or satin surfaces used for satin or matte finishes.
The coating thickness typically ranges from 0.25 microns to 5 microns.
5. Customizable Solutions
Overall, PVD coatings provide a durable and long-lasting solution for various applications.
