PVD machine maintenance in Ukraine

PVD machine maintenance in Ukraine

Machine Model:  RTAC1416,  cathodic arc sources evaporation for decorative coatings. 

Machine installation:  April 2018

Location: Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine

Customer Website:  https://decormodel.prom.ua/  

After Polish customer machine assembly, we went to Ukrainean customer site directly for the maintenance training and new coating process R&D. 

In Ukraine, electroplating line is not allowed to use, there is strict policy by the government to protect the environment.  Our customer has been doing the R&D experiments with PVD plating + Base/Top coating by spraying painting process on zamak (zinc alloy) door handles and door handle plates.
One and half year has passed, what is the testing result? Are they ready for market promotion?  What the main issue they are facing now?  How we can assist them to solve the bottleneck?… with tons of questions, we arrived at Ukraine factory and guess what we found out?

PVD copper deposition film 

PVD black, bronze,antique-brass colors. 

 

The coating process is: Lacquer–PVD color–Lacquer.  Except deep black color which can not be done, other colors have very good finishing. 

We are so happy to see this result. 

 

On 29th. 30th, Sep. our engineer Mr. Shi and customer’s PVD technician has cleaned the machine completely:

1.  All pumps oil changed

2. All vacuum pipes cleaned

3. Checking any exposion to water and gas tubes

4. Checking all vacuum fittings and sealings

5. Cleaning the heaters, chamber shields, arc cathodes, rotary rack etc.

 

“What an amazing increase of speed after cleaning!  Before the first cycle lasted more than 40 minutes, now, only 10 mins, the vacuum pressure is up to 9.0E-3Pa.  Thank you so much for the job” said Mr. Sergey.

2-sided gold plating on Glassware

2-sided gold plating on Glassware

2-Sides Gold Color Coating Machine, Glass Inside & Outside Gold Colors Coating PVD ion plating gold color on glassware is well known and used in the market, however, to improve the adhesion of coated film, the bonding layer is always applied before TiN/ZrN gold coating, which has an issue that from inside seeing through, it reflects the metal layer color: silver or dark silver. If we use the Spraying paining + Aluminum metallization process we can generate a double-sides gold color result, but the adhesion is weak and more complicated process, it increases the labor cost and production cost . In Nov. 2020, we received the request from middle east customer: double-sides gold look and no use of the spraying painting process. After several cycles experiments, we found the proper coating process with strong adhesion.
