1. What is the vacuum coating process?
The so-called vacuum coating machine process uses evaporation, sputtering and other methods to emit film material particles in a vacuum environment, and deposits them on objects such as metals, glass, ceramics, semiconductors and plastic parts to form a coating layer, achieving the functions of decoration, protection, anti-fouling, moisture-proof, and extending the life of objects. At present, there are many ways of vacuum plating, including vacuum resistance heating evaporation, electron gun heating evaporation, magnetron sputtering, MBE molecular beam epitaxy, PLD laser sputtering deposition, ion beam sputtering, etc.
2. What industries can vacuum coating be applied to?
The equipment is widely used. Vacuum evaporation coating mainly includes automotive reflective nets, handicrafts, jewelry, shoes and hats, clocks, lamps, decorations, mobile phones, DVDs, MP3s, PDA shells, buttons, cosmetic shells, toys, Christmas gifts and other industries; PVC, nylon, metal, glass, ceramics, TPU, etc. Vacuum multi-arc ion plating equipment and vacuum magnetron sputtering coating equipment can be used for surface coating of various metals. For example, the watch industry (watch straps, watch cases, watch dials, etc.), the hardware industry (sanitary ware, door handles, handles, door locks, etc.), the construction industry (stainless steel plates, stair railings, columns, etc.), the precision mold industry (punch standard parts molds, forming molds, etc.), the tool industry (drills, carbide, milling cutters, broaches, cutter heads), the automotive industry (pistons, piston rings, alloy wheels, etc.), and pens, glasses, etc.
3. What are the advantages of vacuum coating equipment?
Compared with traditional chemical coating methods, vacuum coating machines have many advantages: no pollution to the environment, it is a green and environmentally friendly process; no harm to the operator; the film layer is firm, dense, corrosion-resistant, and the film thickness is uniform.
