Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a manufacturing process used to coat surfaces with thin films of material. In PVD, solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and then deposited as a thin layer on a target surface, such as metal or glass. This technique is commonly used to enhance properties like durability, appearance, and corrosion resistance. PVD is utilized in various applications, including electronics, optics, and decorative finishes, making items look attractive while providing protective coatings. The process is environmentally friendly, as it often avoids harmful chemicals found in other coating methods.
