PVD coating

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a coating process where a surface coating is vaporized under vacuum. The surface coating can consist of metals and/or ceramics and is typically both much harder and more durable than a coating applied exclusively using more traditional galvanic processes. The coating can also be combined with a galvanic undercoating to achieve special properties, including decorative and anti-corrosion.

The coating can typically be used against wear, to reduce friction and for decorative purposes. It is possible to apply coating in a wide range of colors.

The coating itself is a dry process and takes place in a vacuum chamber without the use of dissolved metal salts as with traditional galvanic metal coating.
