Principles of In-line System Designing for Protective and Decorative Coating

摘要

Considered are the principles of in-line system designing for magnetron coating of 3D articles at reciprocal movement of article carriers (jigs) and article rotation in the plasma treatment and deposition zones. Presented are the research results of plasma treatment efficiency, coating adhesion to the substrate, substrate temperature and physical characteristics of the coating at high-speed introduction of uncoated articles into the line from the atmosphere, short evacuation, plasma treatment and metallization cycles. Magnetrons arrangement was optimized to provide high coating uniformity on 3D articles. A special attention has been paid to designing con-densate collection systems for continuous process running during 120 hours.
