Frequently Asked Questions

You can find the answers you are looking for about PVD coating and metal production.

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is the process of vaporizing metals or alloys in a vacuum environment and coating them on the target surface at high speed. In this process, the coated layer adheres very strongly to the surface and forms a very hard, durable coating. It is often used for decorative and protective purposes on stainless steel in architectural applications.

  • High Durability: Resistant to corrosion, scratching and abrasion.
  • Aesthetic Appearance: Many different colors can be obtained.
  • Environmentally Friendly Process: The coating process minimizes the use of chemicals and is carried out in a vacuum environment.
  • Easy Maintenance: PVD surfaces can be easily cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth.
PVD coating is usually applied to metal surfaces. The most preferred materials include stainless steel and some alloys. In addition, PVD can be applied to glass, ceramic and plastic products; however, the most common and best results are obtained on metal surfaces.
  • Color Options: Gold, silver, copper, brass, bronze, black, anthracite, chrome tones and different rainbow colors can be applied.
  • Special Requests: Project-specific color work can be done.
When applied and maintained correctly, PVD coatings will last for many years. The life of the coating varies depending on the frequency of use, external factors (UV rays, sea salt, chemicals, etc.) and maintenance habits, but it maintains its corrosion resistance for a long time even in outdoor applications.
  • Regular Cleaning: Wiping with a damp, soft cloth is sufficient.
  • Using Detergents: Neutral pH cleaners that do not contain abrasive or harsh chemicals should be preferred.
  • Be Careful with Metal Contact: Hitting or rubbing other hard metals on the coated surface may cause scratches.
  • Protective Layer: Optionally, appropriate polishes or protective solutions can be used at certain intervals.
  • Color Selection: Special color tones may cause extra costs.
  • Processing Area and Quantity: Part size and production quantity are important factors that change the price.
  • Processing Difficulty: Coating parts with detailed or complex geometries may require more workmanship.
Companies generally do not give a definitive price quote without seeing a technical drawing or sample. You can share project information for a detailed quote.
  • Cutting and Shaping: Laser cutting, plasma cutting, water jet cutting, CNC cutting and bending services.
  • Welding and Assembly: Assembling parts with MIG, TIG, spot or robotic welding methods.
  • Surface Treatments: Grinding, sanding, polishing, sandblasting, etc.
  • Special Production: Special molding, prototype and mass production works according to customer demand.
  • Indoor Applications: Door handles, railings, decorative panels, lighting elements, furniture accessories, etc.
  • Outdoor Applications: Building facades, exterior cladding systems, door entrances, signs, etc.
  • Commercial Applications: Applications requiring aesthetics and durability in places such as hotels, restaurants, office lobbies, shopping malls.
  • Project Preparation: Preparation of technical drawings, samples or designs can take from a few days to a few weeks.
  • Metal Fabrication: Cutting, shaping and welding of parts are completed in varying times depending on the complexity of the job.
  • Coating Process: PVD coating, including pre-cleaning and surface preparation, is usually completed in a few hours to a few days.
  • Total Duration: It can take 1-2 weeks for small-scale projects and up to a few months for large-scale or complex projects.
  • Material Input Control: The quality of the metal to be used, its compliance with certificates and standards are checked.
  • Production Phase Tests: Weld seams, dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness are periodically inspected.
  • Post Coating Control: Coating thickness, color integrity, surface quality and durability tests are performed.
  • Final Approval: Before delivery, it is ensured that the products meet the project requirements.

Warranty conditions may vary depending on the degree of wear and exposure to external factors, so it is important to review the warranty terms in the contract or quote file.

  • Project Planning: Coordination is provided with architects, designers and engineers.
  • Manufacturing Drawings: Detailed drawings are prepared with 3D modeling and CAD/CAM programs.
  • Pilot or Sample Production: Sample production is carried out especially for color or surface texture approval.
  • Mass Production and Coating: After approval, production and coating of all parts are carried out within the program.
  • Shipping and Assembly: Products are packaged and shipped, and if necessary, on-site installation service is provided.

Yes. In architectural projects, it is often requested that decorative and functional elements be shaped according to their design. If special dimensions, patterns, logos, writings or textural effects are requested, technical details and drawings should be shared at the beginning of the project. Companies can make special productions for individuals or projects over a certain MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity).

PVD coating uses fewer chemicals than traditional coating methods and is an environmentally friendly technique. Waste management and recycling processes are important in metal fabrication; many companies support their sustainability goals by using techniques that minimize material waste. Additionally, the longevity of PVD coatings extends the life of products, reducing the overall carbon footprint.

  • Technical Drawings or Sample Piece: Project size and shape details
  • Coating Selection and Color: Decorative or protective, which color/texture is desired
  • Piece or Length: How many pieces will be produced or coated
  • Delivery Time and Location: Shipping and assembly status
