A scientific-technical service centre "Rapid" is engaged
in research and development of the equipment and technologies of a
plasma-arc evaporation and DC magnetron sputtering in vacuum of different
electric-conductive materials with a subsequent deposition of a vapor
phase in direct or reactive mode onto metallic and dielectric substrates
("dry galvanic").
Special features of the methods:
Ion-plasma
coatings are high-densed and have a high wear- and corrosion- resistance.
E.g. Ni and Cr coatings of a 15 mkm thickness substitute electroplate
coatings of 40...50 mkm thickness. Metallization may be done onto outside/inside
( > 100mm in diameter in the latter case) surfaces of required articles
and long- sized workpieces.
STSC "Rapid" has developed industrial type ion-plasma BY-1000 and BI-1200 installations with vacuum working chambers of 1000...1200 mm in diameter and 1400...2000 mm in height. These universal installations are equiped with a specified number of planar-type and cylinder-type evaporators according to different production requirements. Installations are designed to deposit protective, decorative, wear-resistant, tribotechnical and other types of functional coatings onto articles made of glass, porcelain, plastic, ceramics and metal. Developed gas-plasma generators allow to increase substantially an ion- yield coefficient of the vapor flow in order to clean and activate more effectively the surface of treated parts before coating deposition and produce high-adhesive layers with a fine-grained structure. |
