INDUSTRIES SERVED

PVD coatings have found applications in a wide spectrum of industries. These are listed in order of importance including; Cutting tools, Automotive, Jet Engines compressor as well as hot section Turbine Blades, Helicopter Rotary Air foil Blades, IGT blades, Mold and Dies, Energy an power generations, Solar Energy, Oil and Gas, Medical, Semiconductors, Electrical, and Aerospace Industries. Also, Wear, Erosion corrosion protection and Defense and space applications where needed, PVD provides necessary coating solutions solution. These coatings are listed below.

i)Erosion Resistance Coatings:

Plasma coatings technologies Inc has developed nanotechnology nano-size multilayered high hardness as well as with high toughness coatings. These coatings are are USA patented coatings assigned to Plasma Coating Technologies Inc.These coatings possess highest particle impact resistance, high corrosion resistance with good toughness properties. These coatings has great potential to be applied as Erosion Resistance Coatings on Jet Engine blades, IGT blades and Helicopter Airfoil Rotor blades. These coating thickness is in the range of 10-12 microns such and so they do not affect either blade weight or dimensions significantly and therefore Aerodynamic Engine efficiency will remain unaffected.

ii) Wear Resistance Coatings:

Currently wear is a predominant problem in Automotive and cutting tool industries. These include Abrasive, Adhesive and Fatigue wears of gears, bearings, bushings, shafts and rotating cylinders and sliding surfaces. Plasma Coating Technologies Inc. PVD coatings are Nano-crystalline, multilayered coatings which provides high hardness, very low coefficient of friction and thus excellent wear resistance to these parts and components. Nano-scale multilayered coatings have advantages as it possesses hard crystals of Nano-phase in an amorphous matrix materials such as AlCrN in a matrix of Si3N4 ceramic material or TiC in a DLC matrix material. Currently, DLC coatings have become problem solving materials in Automotive Engine and has been prime responsible factor for greater mileage and lower emission of toxic gases from these engines. Nano-crystalline multilayered coatings have become “solution in search of problems” in Automotive and Bearing industries.

iii) Medical Coatings:

Medical devices are required to exhibit Biocompatibility, Low coefficient of friction, Corrosion resistance and long durability without getting contaminated. PVD coatings have proven critical in meeting the above mentioned requirements. Plasma Coating Technologies Inc. has developed Nano-scale multilayered coatings which are free from porosity, possess lower coefficient of friction, and free from any harmful inclusions.
