Process Overview:
Whether for wear resistance, low friction, decorative purposes or corrosion protection, thin film surface technology imparts desirable characteristics to surfaces with little increase in dimension. A family of thin film process technologies and flexibility in application technology assures excellent results for many application needs. The capability to batch process components makes processing economics very favorable in high-volume production.
Sulzer Metco brings years of experience in PVD (physical vapor deposition) surface coating and plasma-supported heat treatment technology with three distinct processes:
- MAXIT® PVD surface coating process for high wear resistance and low surface friction
- IONIT® plasma nitriding and / or plasma nitro-carburizing for wear protection
- IONIT OX® gas nitriding and / or plasma nitro-carburizing combined with plasma activation and oxidizing for corrosion protection and improved friction and sliding wear behavior
