Ion plating is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process that deposits a thin film of material onto the surface of a metal using ionized gas and electrically charged particles. This method improves the surface properties of the metal, including wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and appearance.

Key Features:

• Ionized Deposition Process: The metal material is vaporized in a vacuum chamber and then ionized in a plasma field. The ionized vapor molecules are then charged and accelerated toward the substrate to be coated.
• Strong Adhesion and Uniform Coating: The ion bombardment cleans the substrate surface, which promotes the different energies during the ionized deposition, promoting strong adhesion of the created film, resulting in a durable and uniform coating that is durable and uniform.
• Applied to Decorative and Functional Coatings: Ion plating is useful for tools (for protection), medical devices, jewelry, aerospace components (high protection), etc., for aesthetic protection.

Ion plating offers excellent control of a coating's thickness, coverage area, and quality. Its use is likely for applications requiring hard, corrosion- and wear-resistant surfaces while providing good coating properties. It can deposit many materials, such as titanium nitride, chromium, and even gold. For example, cutting tools that are coated in an ion-plating machine can increase hardness, service life, and durability during use. It also allows a decorative finish on consumer products while still providing the durability of the product.  effectively combines the advantages of vacuum deposition and also bombarding/filling the surface of a product, which allows for the final outcome of the surface coating to have a high-performance, reliable coating with advantages in adhesion and finish.
