Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating is a versatile process that can enhance the properties of various metals.
5 Key Metals and Their Benefits
1. Steel Families
Steel families, especially high-alloy steels like high-speed steels and stainless steels, are ideal for PVD coating.
2. Hard Metals and Tool Materials
Hard metals and other tool materials also benefit from PVD coating.
3. Non-Ferrous Metals
Non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, and their alloys (like brass) can be PVD coated.
4. Chrome or Nickel Plated Metal Products
Chrome or nickel plated metal products are suitable for PVD coating.
5. Titanium and Stainless Steel
Titanium and stainless steel are frequently PVD coated due to their strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
PVD Coating Technology
PVD technology allows for the deposition of various metals including aluminum, chromium, titanium, stainless steel, nickel chrome, and tin.
Methods of PVD Coating
- Thermal Evaporation
- Cathodic Arc
- Sputtering
- Pulsed Laser Deposition
- Electron Beam Deposition
Sputtering Process
Sputtering is a common method that involves ejecting atoms from a solid metal target into a gas phase due to high-energy ion bombardment.
Colored Surfaces with PVD Coating
PVD coatings can provide colored surfaces such as:
- Gold (TiN)
- Rose Gold (ZrN)
- Bronze (TiAlN)
- Blue (TiAlN)
- Black (TiAlCN)
- Dark Red (ZrN)
Industries Benefiting from PVD Coating
PVD coating enhances the performance and appearance of metals in industries like:
- Aerospace
- Medical
- Food and Beverage
Materials Not Suitable for PVD Coating
Certain materials like ungalvanized brass are not suitable for PVD coating due to their impact on vacuum stability during the coating process.
