Arc coating - Import export

Plansee produces material for wear-resistant coatings, adhesive layers, decorative or DLC coatings. Offering compositions tailored for advanced hard coatings with optimized mechanical and tribological properties. Further topics that might be addressed are: enhancing of thermal and chemical stability, adding of functional properties like self-lubrication, self-hardening and self-healing. To adjust the coating characteristics to the dedicated application, Plansee offers its scientific expertise in alloying of targets and cathodes with elements that influence the coating properties as follows: Grain size and morphology, Hardness adaption, High temperature oxidation resistance, Friction coefficient, Thermal stability, Thermal conductivity, Electrical conductivity, Antibacterial properties, Color effects. Offered sputtering targets and arcing cathodes: Titanium-Aluminum Aluminum-Chromium Chromium Titanium-silicon Titanium Zirconium Tungsten carbide Titanium-diboride

The silicon and manganese content are kept moderate for deoxidization of clean to light mill scale surface Smooth wire feeding and stability of arc Copper coating for long contact tip life All modes of metal transfer i.e. short circuiting, globular, axial spray and pulsed spray transfer are supported without any hazel
