Multi Arc Ion Glass Metallizing Vacuum Coating Machine
Advanced PVD Nickel Chrome Plating System for industrial applications
Multi-Arc Ion Plating Technology
Multi-arc ion plating is a PVD technique that uses high-current arcs (100-500 A) to vaporize metallic or ceramic targets in a vacuum chamber (pressure < 10⁻² Torr). The ionized vapor is accelerated toward the substrate by a bias voltage, forming dense, ultra-hard coatings with superior adhesion.
Working Principle
- Arc Evaporation: High-current arcs strike the target surface, generating ionized metal vapor
- Plasma Acceleration: Negative bias on substrate attracts ions, enhancing film density and adhesion
- Reactive Gas Introduction: Oxygen or nitrogen introduction forms compounds like TiN or Cr₂O₃
Key Advantages
- High Deposition Rate: Achieves film thicknesses of 1-5 μm/h for large-scale production
- Hardness & Wear Resistance: Coatings like TiAlN exhibit hardness up to 3000 HV, extending tool life by 3-5x
- Uniform Coverage: Effective for complex geometries due to plasma diffusivity
- Corrosion Resistance: Dense films protect against harsh environments
