PVD coatings are highly scratch resistant due to their high hardness and durability.
4 Key Reasons Why PVD Coatings Are Highly Durable
High Hardness:
PVD coatings are known for their exceptional hardness.
They often exceed the hardness of the hardest steels.
This high hardness is a critical factor in their scratch resistance.
The hardness of PVD coatings can be as high as four times that of chrome.
This hardness ensures that the surface is less prone to damage from abrasive forces.
Durable and Resistant to Wear:
The durability of PVD coatings contributes significantly to their scratch resistance.
PVD coatings are designed to withstand prolonged use without showing signs of wear.
This durability is enhanced by the strong bonding force between the coating and the substrate.
This prevents the coating from chipping or peeling off under stress.
Reduced Coefficient of Friction:
PVD coatings also have a low coefficient of friction.
This means they are less likely to experience surface damage from sliding or rubbing against other surfaces.
This property not only enhances their scratch resistance but also their overall wear resistance.
Corrosion and Chemical Resistance:
PVD coatings are highly resistant to corrosion and chemicals.
This further protects them from degradation that could lead to reduced scratch resistance.
This resistance ensures that the integrity of the coating is maintained over time, even in harsh environments.
Uniform Coating and Decorative Finish:
The uniform application of PVD coatings ensures that the entire surface is equally protected against scratches.
The brilliant decorative finishes provided by PVD coatings enhance the aesthetic appeal.
These finishes also contribute to their scratch resistance by providing a smooth, even surface that is difficult to mar.
In conclusion, PVD coatings are not only scratch resistant but also offer a range of other benefits including corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and durability, making them an ideal choice for applications where surface protection is paramount.
