Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings come in a variety of colors, each offering unique aesthetic and functional benefits. Here are 14 popular colors of PVD coating:
- Black
- Gold
- Silver
- Bronze/Copper
- Rose gold
- Yellow gold
- Gunmetal
- Blue
- Purple
- Red
- Green
- Turquoise
- Graphite
- Champagne Gold
- Mixed Multicolor
These colors are achieved by varying the evaporated metal (target) and the mixture of reactive gases used during the PVD deposition process.
The range of colors is extensive, including brass tones, gold tones, black to grey, nickel, chrome, copper, and bronze tones. Finishes can be polished, satin, or matt.
Yellow gold and rose gold are particularly popular for PVD-coated jewelry. They closely mimic the appearance of traditional gold without the high cost.
Black and gold are favored for PVD-coated watches, offering a sleek and sophisticated look.
Custom colors can also be created by combining different materials or altering the deposition conditions. This enhances the versatility of PVD coatings, which can be applied to a wide range of materials including metals, ceramics, glasses, and plastics.
The color of PVD coatings can be influenced by several factors:
- Type of Material being Coated: Different materials absorb different wavelengths of light, affecting the final color.
- Type of PVD Process Used: Processes like sputtering and evaporation can produce different colors.
- Composition of the Coating: The inclusion of different elements and compounds can alter the absorption of light, changing the color.
- Thickness of the Coating: Thicker coatings may appear darker, while thinner coatings may appear lighter.
This wide range of available colors and the ability to customize them make PVD coatings a popular choice for various applications, from household appliances to medical instruments, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional durability.
