PVD Coating Advantages

 

One of the most popular coating techniques at present is PVD which is an acronym for physical vapor deposition. It is mostly used for jewelry, car, watch, etc. there are a lot of PVD coating advantages that makes it preferable when it comes to coating. But before we discuss the advantages it is important to know what exactly physical vapor deposition is.

People often confuse physical vapor deposition with chemical vapor deposition but there is a big difference between the two. The physical vapor deposition involves the use of argon gas. The ions of the argon are bombarded at a specific target which creates a film at the surface. Because there is residue released, it is regarded as a physical process. There are a lot of PVD coating companies that work with this process as it is largely accurate and give wonderful results. Let us further understand some of the basic principles of physical vapor deposition which are essentially divided into three major steps.

1) The first part includes the gasification of the material to be plated. This means that the material would be evaporated or sputtered as per the requirement.

2) Once the collision of molecules atoms and ions initiates, there happens a variety of reactions which are known as migration.

3) Finally, there happens the placement of molecules, ions, and atoms on the substrate.

Let us now understand the specific PVD coating advantages which make it a preferable product over any other products:

1)      Good Durability

One of the most important aspects of using physical vapor deposition is because of the durability it ensures and eventually provides. This is mainly because when we compare the process to any other method, physical vapor depositions provide much more hardness and are largely resistant to any sort of corrosion. Being anti-corrosion also plays an essential role in being used as the most preferred process.

2)    Wide Application

It is important to understand nearly all the materials whether it is organic or inorganic could be used using a different types of finishes on the group of substrates

 3)    Environment Friendly

People these days give a special preference to the product which are made without impacting the environment in any wrong way. Physical vapor deposition is performed in a vacuum environment and therefore is much more eco-friendly than any other techniques used. It is also important to know that the process does not release any lethal gases such as SO2 OR CO which are very harmful to the environment.

4)    Convenient Cleaning

The PVD films are pretty easy to clean. Any other material takes a lot of time and effort to clean the product. But you only need a glass cleaner or a simple piece of soft cloth to clean the PVD film.

5)    High Quality And Multiple Choices

The wide variety of colors that the PVD film provides to choose from makes it a strong contender against its counterparts. It gives a pretty smooth and fine texture to the surface which makes it a very popular process in the market.
