PVD coating

PVD is short for Physical Vapor Deposition and is a coating process in which a surface coating is vaporized and deposited under vacuum. The surface coating consists of metals and/or ceramics and is typically both much harder and more durable than a coating exclusively applied using traditional galvanic processes. The coating can also be combined with a galvanic underlying coating to achieve specific properties, including decorative and anti-corrosion properties.

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

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