Vacuum deposition, and particularly physical vapor deposition (PVD), makes it possible to deposit, in a thin layer, all metals, alloys and compounds available in plate form, on metals, alloys, glass, ceramics, polymers, composites. …
The applications of these techniques are very diverse: optical, electrical, thermal, anti-wear, friction, decoration... the HEF group has developed different treatments using these techniques and materials to meet the most diverse needs:
VACUUM DEPOSITS FOR DECORATIVE USE:
The coating is carried out by magnetron cathode sputtering. He deposits special metals or alloys on large metal parts, creating decorative corn sofas.
FEATURES :
• Chrome, stainless steel, or… appearance
• Wide variety of depositable materials: - chrome, aluminum, or... or specific alloys according to specifications.
• Very high purity of the coatings.
• Control of thicknesses and surface conditions.
• Resistance to chemical attacks (depending on the filler materials)
REMARKS :
• Application on large parts.
MATERIALS THAT CAN BE PROCESSED:
Glasses – Plastics – Organic matrix composites – Ceramics – Cermets – Metals and alloys – Logos – …
Application examples:
• Signs
• Luxury market
