  2. Physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_vapor_deposition

    Physical vapor deposition (PVD), sometimes called physical vapor transport (PVT), describes a variety of vacuum deposition methods which can be used to produce thin films and coatings on substrates including metals, ceramics, glass, and polymers. PVD is characterized by a process in which the material transitions from a condensed phase to a ...

  3. Cathodic arc deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathodic_arc_deposition

    Cathodic arc deposition or Arc-PVD is a physical vapor deposition technique in which an electric arc is used to vaporize material from a cathode target. The vaporized material then condenses on a substrate, forming a thin film. The technique can be used to deposit metallic, ceramic, and composite films.

  4. Titanium nitride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium_nitride

    Titanium nitride (TiN; sometimes known as tinite) is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties.

  5. Electron-beam physical vapor deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_physical...

    The PVD process can be carried out at lower deposition temperatures and without corrosive products, but deposition rates are typically lower. Electron-beam physical vapor deposition, however, yields a high deposition rate from 0.1 to 100 μm / min at relatively low substrate temperatures, with very high material utilization efficiency.

  7. Vacuum deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_deposition

    Aluminising vacuum chamber at Mont Mégantic Observatory used for re-coating telescope mirrors. [1] Vacuum deposition is a group of processes used to deposit layers of material atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule on a solid surface. These processes operate at pressures well below atmospheric pressure (i.e., vacuum). The deposited layers can ...

  8. Electrophoretic deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophoretic_deposition

    Electrophoretic coating began to take its current shape in the late 1950s, when Dr. George E. F. Brewer and the Ford Motor Company team began working on developing the process for the coating of automobiles. The first commercial anodic automotive system began operations in 1963.

  9. High-power impulse magnetron sputtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-power_impulse...

    The main advantages of HIPIMS coatings include a denser coating morphology [23] and an increased ratio of hardness to Young's modulus compared to conventional PVD coatings. Whereas comparable conventional nano-structured (Ti,Al)N coatings have a hardness of 25 GPa and a Young's modulus of 460 GPa, the hardness of the new HIPIMS coating is ...
