Abstract
Low temperature arc vapor deposition (LTAVD) is a new addition to the field of cathodic arc plasma physical vapor deposition processes. Almost any metal, alloy, and intermetallic compound as well as many ceramics and fully reacted metals can be deposited utilizing LTAVD. With its ability to deposit coatings at room temperature, LTAVD has been utilized on a commercial basis in applying coatings to plastics to address electrical, optical, thermal, corrosion/oxidation, mechanical and decorative requirements. Plastics which have been coated include: polyimide, polyetherimide, fluorocarbons (Teflon), ABS, polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC, polyester, nylon, phenolics, polycarbonate, epoxies and other plastics and composites. LTAVD is a dry process and hence is environmentally safe.
