LAYRR, based in Abingdon, UK, has developed a high-speed surface engineering process, adapted from Physical Vapour Deposition ...

Physical vapour deposition (PVD) is fundamentally a vaporisation coating technique, involving transfer of material on an atomic level. It is an alternative process to electroplating The process is ...

: An example of a physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is Oerlikon Balzers’ BALINIT C. The coating is a WC/C ductile carbide carbon coating that is highly resistant to adhesive wear (scuffing) in ...

The problem being addressed by the U.S. Army was that wear and corrosion require the artillery personnel to replace chromium-coated spindles well before they reach their usable end-of-life. The ...

A breakthrough in coating technology has resulted in a physical vapor deposition (PVD) aluminum oxide (Al2O3) coating for difficult-to-machine materials with the thermal resistance of traditional ...
