Advanced Hybrid Magnetron Sputtering Multi-Arc Ion Plating Equipment for Superior PVD Coatings

Our state-of-the-art Magnetron Sputtering Multi-Arc Ion Plating System represents the pinnacle of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology. This innovative equipment seamlessly integrates the intense ionization of Arc Ion Plating with the stable, high-rate deposition of Magnetron Sputtering. Designed for precision and reliability, it delivers exceptionally hard, uniform, dense, and well-adhered coatings for a vast range of industrial applications.

What is Hybrid Magnetron Sputtering Multi-Arc Ion Plating Technology?

This hybrid PVD process combines two powerful techniques in a single, vacuum-based system:

  1. Multi-Arc Ion Plating (Cathodic Arc Evaporation): Utilizes high-current electric arcs to vaporize cathode material (the target). This creates a highly ionized metal plasma, resulting in coatings with excellent adhesion and density.

  2. Magnetron Sputtering: Uses a magnetically confined plasma to eject atoms from a target material. This process allows for stable, high-speed deposition of uniform coatings, even on complex geometries.

By combining these methods, our system overcomes the limitations of each individual technology. You achieve the superior adhesion and density of arc plating with the smooth, low-defect, and highly controllable deposition of magnetron sputtering.

Features

  • Enhanced Coating Quality: Produces ultra-dense, hard, and smooth coatings with superior adhesion to the substrate.

  • Excellent Uniformity: Advanced magnetic field and plasma control systems ensure consistent coating thickness across complex 3D components.

  • High Deposition Rate: Maximizes productivity and throughput with efficient material utilization.

  • Versatile Coating Capabilities: Deposit a wide array of coatings, including TiN, CrN, TiAlN, AlCrN, DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), and multilayer nanocomposite films.

  • Superior Surface Finish: Minimizes macro-particles ("droplets"), a common challenge in standard arc processes, leading to smoother surfaces.

  • Advanced Process Control: Fully automated, PLC-controlled system with precise management of parameters like arc current, gas flow, bias voltage, and temperature.

  • Durability & Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for applications requiring extreme hardness, wear resistance, and protection against corrosion and oxidation.
