  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. 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.

  4. Ion plating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_plating

    Ion plating (IP) is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that is sometimes called ion assisted deposition (IAD) or ion vapor deposition (IVD) and is a modified version of vacuum deposition. Ion plating uses concurrent or periodic bombardment of the substrate, and deposits film by atomic-sized energetic particles called ions.

  5. PLATIT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATIT

    PVD coatings are typically applied to cutting tools – such as drills, hobs or endmills-, molds and dies, and machine components to extend their lifetime.Typical PVD coatings include Titanium nitride (TiN), TiCN, or TiAlN, AlCrN, [5] Nanocomposites, [6] TripleCoatings3, [7] and QuadCoatings4.

  6. 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 ...

  7. Sputter deposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputter_deposition

    Sputter coating in scanning electron microscopy is a sputter deposition process [clarification needed] to cover a specimen with a thin layer of conducting material, typically a metal, such as a gold/palladium (Au/Pd) alloy. A conductive coating is needed to prevent charging of a specimen with an electron beam in conventional SEM mode (high ...

  9. 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.
