Coatable materials Virtually every material made from steel or plastic can be coated or metallized using our PVD and PACVD processesAll materials can, in principle, be coated using the PVD and PACVD processes, subject, in each case, to the following rule: heat treatment must be carried out so that the coating temperature (~ 150°C bis 600°C), does not cause any loss of hardness or warping.
Readily coatable are metallic materials such as high-speed steels, hot and cold working tool steels, stainless steels, heat treatable steels, cemented carbides, cermets, as well as case-hardened, ball-bearing and nitrided steels.
With our ePDTM technology, plastics such as ABS, PC/ABS, PC, PC/PBT, PC/PET and selected PA mixtures (glass fibre and mineral-strengthened) can also be metallized. Other plastics on request.
Conditionally coatable materials are cast iron, chromium and nickel-plated metals, copper alloys and aluminium alloys, ceramics and sapphire.
Non-coatable materials are sintered metals with open pores (vacuum-incompatible).
