PVD Coating

Innovation on Every Layer with Decorative and Functional PVD Coating

PVD stands for "Physical Vapor Deposition" and refers to a coating technology. PVD coating is a method used to apply a material to a surface in a thin layer. It is usually applied to the surface of metals and is used to add more durable, decorative or functional properties.

PVD Coating Advantages

Food Compliant

Long Use Time

Eco-Friendly

The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating method can be applied on various materials. Here are some materials that PVD coating can be applied to:

  1. Stainless steel: Stainless steel is preferred in all industries because of its corrosion resistance. With its decorative or functional use, PVD coating adds extra features and aesthetics.

  2. Aluminum: It is a light but high-strength material and is used extensively in aviation. PVD coating can be used easily in high quality aluminum series. 

  3. Ceramic Materials: Ceramics, especially sintered ceramics, may be suitable for PVD coating. 

  4. Pine:Glass surfaces can be PVD coated for decorative or functional purposes. For example, PVD coating can be applied to improve the reflective or thermal insulation properties of glass.

Metallized Coating for Automotive Parts, Headlights and Lamps

The applications of PVD coating can be diversified and new uses can be added all the time. These applications can be divided into functional  and decorative according to their purposes.

Industries Using Functional PVD Coating:​

PVD coating is a method used to apply various alloys to surfaces. It provides a coating layer formed by evaporation of different metals and metal compounds. This coating layer may contain different alloys used to add or improve various properties.

COATING TYPES

The PVD coating process is carried out under vacuum. The first step is to clean and prepare the object to be coated. Next, in a vacuum chamber, the object is exposed to a coating material formed by high temperature evaporation of one or more metals or metal compounds. The evaporated material hits the surface of the object and adheres to form a thin coating layer. This layer can impart a tough, corrosion resistant, abrasion resistant or decorative feature to the object.

​

PVD coating is widely used in various industries. For example, it is used in the automotive industry for coating wheels, exhaust pipes and door handles. It is also preferred for coating products such as watches, jewellery, bathroom fixtures, kitchen utensils and surgical instruments.

The advantages of PVD coating include high durability, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and decorative diversity. It is also considered an environmentally friendly coating method because the use of harmful chemicals is reduced and the generation of waste in the coating process is minimized.

In conclusion, PVD coating is a technology used to add a durable, functional and aesthetically appealing coating layer to the surfaces of objects.
