MD500 Multi-Arc Ion Plating Coating Equipment for Cutting Tools - China Suppliers and Factory
High deposition rate
The current density of the arc spot is as high as 1012A/m2, and the energy density is as high as 1013W/m2. The high energy density directly leads to the transformation of the target material at the arc spot from solid phase to metal vapor plasma.
High ionization rate
Arc discharge is generated between the cathode evaporation source and the shell, and glow discharge is generated between the workpiece base and the shell, causing the cathode target to evaporate and ionize, generally up to 60-80%.
efficient and convenient
Fully automatic coating system, efficient and reliable, capable of batch production 4-5 times a day, equipped with historical records, storable process recipes, offline editing, abnormal alarm, and touch screen operation.
High impact resistance
The film has moderate hardness, film adhesion, high rigidity, and good impact resistance, suitable for rough machining.
