In sputtering the coating material is placed into the vacuum coating chamber in solid form as a sputter target.
The target material is atomized by bombardment with argon ions which have been accelerated in an electric field. The metal atoms are deposited on the surface of the substrate.
Possible applications and application areas are:
- Coatings for medical applications
- Contact profiles
- Reflective coatings
- Corrosion resistant coatings
- Connecting systems
