Neue, ökologisch nachhaltige Vakuumbeschichtungen auf metallischen Platten und Bändern

Vacuum processing enables very precise thin-layer coating of surfaces with many different materials, which can not be used with other surface finishing processes, or they require very high expenditures and are therefore not economical. Almost all metals, as well as many alloys and inorganic compounds can be deposited by so called PVD processes (physical vapour deposition). Plasma-activated electron beam vapour deposition enables the economical manufacturing of high-value coatings at high deposition rates on large surfaces. Four examples of decorative and functional coatings on metal tapes are proving the potential of plasma-activated electron beam vapour deposition
