Amazing facts about PVD sheets | Fabrinox
PVD is an abbreviation for Physical Vapor Deposition. It is a popular and advanced technique for stainless steel surface coating at the moment. It is not only one of the few techniques available for obtaining coatings with micrometer thickness, but it is also the most environmentally friendly method. The basic idea behind PVD is to use a combination of vaporization and physics processes and techniques within a vacuumed space to form an extremely thin layer of coating that will attach to the material's surface.
The term "PVD coating" is a bit misleading. It is translucent and does not add a substantial layer of coating to a metal. Instead, with a very small buildup, it alters the physical properties of the metal surface itself.
PVD is the gold or black color on the bit's surface. This not only increases the bit's wear resistance but also makes it more visually appealing. Bits can now break due to heat buildup or torque in use, but color wear is extremely rare.
Applications for PVD
PVD coating is used in a wide variety of products. It is commonly used in architecture. In addition to its appealing appearance, PVD can be treated with an anti-fingerprint coating (AF). This makes it especially desirable in high-touch areas. Most anti-fingerprint applications use a coating, usually a spray, to impart the characteristic. The issue with most of these is that they wear out quickly.
PVD on the Cutting Edge
Another technical advantage of PVD is the ability to mimic the appearance of more expensive metals like copper, brass, bronze, and gold. Simple cleaning is all that is required to keep the original copper color looking good. Rose gold PVD is commonly used in jewelry, and black or gunmetal color is commonly used in watches. PVD antimicrobial applications in-chamber are also being investigated.
