PVD is short for “Physical Vapor Deposition” and refers to a coating technology. PVD coating is a method used to apply a thin layer of a material to a surface. It is usually applied to the surface of metals and is used to add more durable, decorative or functional properties.
The PVD coating process is carried out under vacuum. The first step is to clean and prepare the object to be coated. Then, in a vacuum chamber, the object is exposed to a coating material formed by the high-temperature evaporation of one or more metals or metal compounds. The evaporated material hits the surface of the object and adheres to it, forming a thin coating layer. This layer can give the object a hard, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant or decorative feature.
PVD coating is widely used in various industries. For example, it is used in the automotive sector to coat wheels, exhaust pipes and door handles. It is also preferred for coating products such as watches, jewelry, bathroom fixtures, kitchenware and surgical instruments.
The advantages of PVD coating include high durability, chemical resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and decorative variety. It is also considered an environmentally friendly coating method because the use of harmful chemicals is reduced and waste generation is minimized in the coating process.
In conclusion, PVD coating is a technology used to add a durable, functional and aesthetically appealing coating layer to the surfaces of objects.
The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating method can be applied to various materials. Here are some materials that PVD coating can be applied to:
Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is preferred in all industries due to its corrosion resistance. With its decorative or functional use, PVD coating adds extra features and aesthetics.
Aluminum: It is a lightweight but high-strength material and is used extensively in aviation. PVD coating can be easily used on high-quality aluminum series.
Ceramic Materials: Ceramics, especially sintered ceramics, can be suitable for PVD coating.
Glass: Glass surfaces can be subjected to PVD coating for decorative or functional purposes. For example, PVD coating can be applied to improve the reflective or heat insulation properties of glass.
The applications of PVD coating can be diversified and new uses can always be added. These applications can be divided into functional and decorative according to their purposes.
Industries Using Decorative PVD Coating:
Kitchen and Tableware
Bathroom
Architecture and Interior Architecture
Industries Using Functional PVD Coating:
Automotive
Medical
Defense Industry
Mold Industry
Cutting Tools
Machinery
PVD coating is a method used to apply various alloys to surfaces. It provides a coating layer created by evaporating different metals and metal compounds. This coating layer can contain different alloys used to add various properties or improve existing properties.
As one of Turkey’s leading companies in the field of coating, we are experiencing the excitement of our first day in our business. We are happy to continue our story, which we started in 2009 as a family of 4, as a large and expert team today.
