Download our new whitepaper: CVD Coatings for Engineered Components
Read our new whitepaper on CVD coatings for components. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), the oldest deposition technique, is rarely used for coating of components. A common perception is that it can be applied only for coating of cemented carbide cutting inserts and forming tools with subsequent heat treatment. Yet CVD processing temperatures are not necessarily a showstopper for coating a range of steels and other materials used for components of various machinery. This article is intended to clarify such CVD misconceptions and highlight the benefits of using CVD for surface enhancement.
