PVD Coating Furnace
PVD ( Physical Vapor Deposition ) process utilizing the intensive energy of a vacuum arc, provides high speed deposition of film with superior hardness and strong adhesion to the substrate. The coating temperature for all special steels is between 300 - 500°C
All special steels must be hardened and tempered before being coated.
The tempering temperature must be high enough to gurantee structural stability at the coating. The tempering temperature is usually at 500°C and above
Advantages
- Superior Hard Coating
The high ionization ratio of the AIP process provides coating with superior density and good crystallization.
- Maximum Adhesion
In the AIP process with a high ionization ratio, metal ion bombardment is possible, resulting in coating with superior adhesion
- Low Processing Temperature
Deposition of coatings at temperatures well below the annealing temperature of substrate removes the possibility of substrate distortion and the necessity to re-anneal after coating
- High Ionization Ratio
A much higher ionization ratio (average 80%) than used in conventional ion plating allows the bias voltage to achieve a high ion bombardment effect and to produce highly-adhesive high-density film
