PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition)

Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a technique used to coat surfaces with thin films of material. In this process, a solid material is heated until it vaporizes, creating a gas. This vapor then condenses onto a surface, forming a thin, even layer. PVD is commonly used in industries like electronics and optics to enhance the durability and performance of components, such as applying a shiny layer to metal or creating specialized coatings for tools and lenses. It's valued for producing strong, precise coatings without using liquid chemicals.
