What is PVD or Vacuum Metalization?
The process of applying a thin film metallic coating by means of PVD is to place the part into a sealed vacuum chamber, and apply electric current and voltage or bombardment of inert gas to ionize a target material ( which can be a pure metal or an alloy). Once the target material is ionized into a vapor form it is the deposited on the part surface. There are several three popular types of PVD coatings: Vacuum Evaporation and Sputtering, and Arc Vapor Deposition ( or Cathodic Arc)
Sputter Deposition
Sputtering is a metal deposition process where the target material is not vaporized using heat, but its metal atoms are physically dislodged from the target by the collision of a bombarding particle. The distance from the target to the part in a sputtering chamber is much shorter than in vacuum deposition. Sputtering is also done under much higher vacuum. The sputtering source itself can be made of elements, alloys, mixtures, or compounds. This form of metal deposition is commonly used in semiconductor manufacturing, on architectural glass, reflective coatings, compact discs CDs, and decorative coatings.
Arc Vapor 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. The arc evaporation process begins with the striking of a high current, low voltage arc on the surface of a cathode ( known as the target) that gives rise to a small (usually a few micrometers wide), highly energetic emitting area known as a cathode spot. The localized temperature at the cathode spot is extremely high ( around 15000℃), which results in a high evlocity (10km/sec) jet of vaporized cathode material, leaving a crater behind on the cathode surface.
Royal technology designed and fabricated the RTAC-SP series PVD vacuum metallizing equipment are
popular used for metal alloys, brass, Zamak ( Zinc alloy) , plastic, electronics, piping and plumbings, plumber fittings, watering system valves and caps; medical and industrial valves etc. The process purpose is mainly to replace the Chromium Electroplating which is hazardous for human and environment.
