PVD coating is a popular choice for enhancing the durability and appearance of various metal surfaces. But how long does it actually last?
How long does PVD finish last? 5 Key Factors to Consider
1. Composition of the Coating
The composition of the PVD coating plays a significant role in its longevity. Different materials used in the coating process can affect how long it lasts.
2. Thickness of the Coating
The thickness of the PVD coating is another crucial factor. Typically, PVD coatings range from 0.25 microns to 5 microns in thickness. Thicker coatings generally last longer.
3. Application of the Coating
The application process also impacts the lifespan of PVD coatings. Proper application ensures better adhesion and durability.
4. Adhesion to the Substrate
The bond between the PVD coating and the underlying metal is vital. A tighter bond means a longer-lasting coating.
5. Surface Finish Required
The surface finish required for the application can affect the durability of the PVD coating. Polished or mirror surfaces are used for polished finishes, while brushed or satin surfaces are used for matte finishes.
