What is ion plating (Physical vapor deposition)?
Ion plating (physical vapor deposition: PVD) is a deposition method in which metals such as titanium and chromium, which have been converted into plasma in a vacuum, react with nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen to form a ceramic coating.
Our company owns approximately 20 PVD facilities using three methods: electron gun fusion ion plating, arc discharge ion plating, and magnetron sputtering. This allows us to select the processing machine that best suits your workpiece size and required film deposition conditions. We specialize in decorative coloring using ion plating, which gives metal products resistance to scratches, abrasion, and peeling, as well as excellent corrosion and weather resistance. Furthermore, we can process workpieces in shapes ranging from spherical to long, and we have experience using ion plating on electrically non-conductive insulating materials.

Metal plating processing as a conductive/electromagnetic wave shield on hard-to-plate materials
Metal films such as gold, silver, copper, and brass are sputtered to rotate and revolve the workpiece, and the entire surface is processed under a heat load of 100°C or less.
(Various plastics, coatings, glass, ceramics, FRP, chemical fibers, etc.)
*We cannot perform electromagnetic shielding effect confirmation tests such as EMC tests.
