PVD Coating

PVD Coating

PVD Coating

PVD coating means Physical Vapour Deposition of Titanium, Titanium Aluminium and Chromium. The process is also referred to as Titanium/ Titanium Aluminium/ Chromium plating. The technology behind PVD coating is based upon the principle of plasma acceleration. The method involves purely physical processes, such as low temperature vacuum evaporation with plasma sputter bombardment.

PVD coating is one of the best methods for enhancing thin film plating elements. The vacuum deposition method coats the product with a film of hard refractory material 1-2 microns thick.

Benefits:

  • Corrosion and Oxidation resistant: No discoloration, tarnishing, cracking or peeling under normal conditions; the coating is impervious to harsh sunlight, salt water and humidity.
  • Economical: As cost effective as traditional electroplating; the coating does not require the use of abrasive cleaners and can be wiped clean with a soft cloth.
  • Durability: Long lasting alternative for a gold finish; 15 - 25 times more wear-resistant than electroplating
  • Safety: The coating has been safety tested for surgical devices and food processing.
  • Thin film hardness: The hardness of the product film itself was measured by the Vickers hardness test and was found to be about 10 times harder than stainless steel.
  • Flexibility: Low modulus of elasticity which provides its flexibility and good thermal conductivity; no peeling or flaking of the coating when bent.
  • Appearance: Unique color selections; uniform color; smooth surface and no further processing necessary; shinier and glossier than the original materials, providing a luxurious appearance; minimal distortion of the product.
  • Scratch Hardness: Load of cracking point, as seen below, was tested by scratching 150mm per minute with Kuremence Scratch Tester. The result showed Ion coating was 3 times harder than chemical coating on scratch resistant hardness.

What Materials are suitable for PVD Coating?

PVD Coating can be used on various materials, such as stainless steel, porcelain and glass Stainless steel is best recommended for PVD Coating. Stainless steel will fade and oxidise over time when exposed to the environment, humidity and other factors. However, stainless steel that has been PVD coated:
  • Will not tarnish, oxidise or discolor in harsh sun, salt water or humid environments.
  • Will be impervious to extended UV light exposure, with no flaking, cracking or discoloration.
  • Will be available in a wide range of colors, surface patterns and finishes.

Why choose INOXCOLORZ PVD Coating?

PVD coating in an innovation in the creation of colored stainless steel making the surface much harder and more durable than others. The coating deposition method coats the product with a film of hard refractory 1-2 microns thick but we make it thicker for better wear, scratch and corrosion resistance.

Our process improves the performance of stainless steel by increasing wear, scratch and corrosion resistance making its durability far superior to conventional coating methods such as electroplating or other PVD process:
  • Low color variation
  • Perfect bonding
  • Perfect coating thickness (ideal for manufacturing)
  • Warranty
  • Perfect wear, scratch and corrosion resistance
  • Dry and clean process, environmental friendly, zero waste residue
