Multi Arc Ion Glass Metallizing Vacuum Coating Machine / PVD Nickel Chrome Plating Machine

Multi-Arc Ion Plating

Technology Overview

Working Principle

• Arc Evaporation: High-current arcs strike the target surface, generating ionized metal vapor.
• Plasma Acceleration: A negative bias on the substrate attracts ions, enhancing film density and adhesion.
• Reactive Gas Introduction: Oxygen or nitrogen can be introduced to form compounds like TiN or Cr₂O₃ .

Key Advantages

1. High Deposition Rate: Achieves film thicknesses of 1–5 μm/h, ideal for large-scale production.
2. Hardness & Wear Resistance: Coatings like TiAlN exhibit hardness up to 3000 HV, extending tool life by 3–5x.
3. Uniform Coverage: Effective for complex geometries (e.g., screws, gears) due to plasma diffusivity.
4. Corrosion Resistance: Dense films protect against harsh environments (e.g., marine or automotive).
