1. Superior Coating Adhesion
Utilizing high-voltage pulsed bias technology, the machine generates high-density plasma etching to remove surface oxides and contaminants immediately before deposition, ensuring a metallurgical bond between the coating and the substrate.
2. Uniform Hardness & Thickness
Our proprietary rotation mechanism (3-fold or planetary) guarantees excellent uniformity across complex geometries. Achieve nanohardness up to 35-45 GPa (depending on coating recipe) with a uniformity tolerance of ≤ ±5%.
3. High Deposition Rate
Optimized magnetic field configurations allow for a higher ionization rate, significantly reducing process cycle times (typical cycle: 3–6 hours depending on coating thickness) while maintaining consistent quality.
4. Eco-Friendly Process
Unlike electroplating (hard chrome), the PVD process is a dry, environmentally friendly technology. It produces zero chemical waste, no toxic wastewater, and meets strict global environmental compliance standards.
