PVD Stainless Steel

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a process to produce a metal vapour (titanium, chromium and aluminium) that can be deposited on electrically conductive materials as a thin highly adhered pure metal or alloy coating. The process is carried out in a vacuum chamber using a cathodic arc source.

The coating compounds are made up of various elements such as carbides, nitrides, borides and silicides. A wide variety of colours can be achieved by adding different gasses during the deposition.

Why choose PVD Coating?

• PVD coating is one of the best methods for enhancing thin film plating elements. The vacuum deposition method coats the stainless steel with a film of hard refractory material 1-2 microns thick
• PVD coatings surpass traditional electroplated coatings, it's more corrosion resistant and has superior hardness
• PVD coatings do not discolour or tarnish, and do not suffer under UV radiation easy.
• More environmentally friendly than traditional coating processes such as electroplating or powdercoating.
