Multi-Arc Ion Plating

Technology Overview

Working Principle

• Arc Evaporation: High-current arcs strike the target surface, generating ionized metal vapor.
• Plasma Acceleration: A negative bias on the substrate attracts ions, enhancing film density and adhesion.
• Reactive Gas Introduction: Oxygen or nitrogen can be introduced to form compounds like TiN or Cr₂O₃ .

Key Advantages

1. High Deposition Rate: Achieves film thicknesses of 1–5 μm/h, ideal for large-scale production.
2. Hardness & Wear Resistance: Coatings like TiAlN exhibit hardness up to 3000 HV, extending tool life by 3–5x.
3. Uniform Coverage: Effective for complex geometries (e.g., screws, gears) due to plasma diffusivity.
4. Corrosion Resistance: Dense films protect against harsh environments (e.g., marine or automotive).

Applied Industries

• Tooling & Molds: Cutting tools, punches, and dies.
• Automotive: Engine components and decorative trim.
• Jewelry & Watches: Durable, scratch-resistant gold or black finishes.
• Medical: Sterile, biocompatible coatings for surgical instruments .

Coating Effects & Colors

• Surface Finishes: Mirror-like metallic lusters or matte textures.
• Color Options: Gold (TiN), black (CrN), blue (TiAlN), and rainbow gradients.

Structure Types

• Vertical Chamber: Optimized for batch processing of small parts.
• Horizontal Chamber: Suitable for large-scale deposition on flat or cylindrical substrates.

Substrate Materials

• Metals (stainless steel, aluminum), ceramics, and hard plastics.

Coating Materials

• Metals: Ti, Cr, Zr, Al.
• Nitrides: TiN, CrN, ZrN.
• Carbides: WC, TiC.

Supporting Production Lines

• Integrates with pre-coating cleaning systems (e.g., ultrasonic baths) and post-coating heat treatment.

Consumables

• Target rods (Ti, Cr, etc.), reactive gases (N₂, O₂), and cooling water.

Applications

• Cutting Tools: TiAlN coatings for high-speed machining.
• Decorative Hardware: Door handles and faucets with corrosion-resistant finishes.
• Aerospace: High-temperature coatings on engine components.
