PVD Coating for Titanium Components
Complete guide to physical vapour deposition (PVD) coating of titanium alloys. Coating types, process parameters, and applications for wear resistance and aesthetics.
Quick Answer
What is PVD coating for titanium? PVD (physical vapour deposition) applies thin (1鈥? 碌m) ceramic coatings to titanium components in a vacuum chamber. Common coatings include TiN (gold), TiAlN (dark grey), AlTiN, and DLC (black) for improved wear resistance and decorative finishes.
Applications
- Decorative gold-coloured titanium components (TiN coating)
- Wear-resistant coatings for medical instruments
- Black coatings for optical and aerospace components
