By trusting our PVD processes, our partner companies can enhance the quality of their products. This advanced process allows for the application of thin coatings with exceptional properties on various surfaces, enhancing their durability, wear resistance, and performance. Modifying the material to create high-quality functional coatings. The PVD process is a complex sequence of highly controlled operations, including the following steps:
It all begins with heating the coating material, such as titanium, to high temperatures until it reaches a vapor state. This vaporization creates a cloud of particles inside a specially designed vacuum chamber.
The vaporized particles are then precisely directed toward the object to be coated. Upon contact with the surface, these particles instantly condense, firmly adhering to it. This step is meticulously controlled to ensure even distribution of particles on the object’s surface.
As particles continue to deposit on the object, they accumulate to form a thin, solid layer. This layer is characterized by its uniformity and specific properties, enhancing the object’s surface.
This process creates a solid and protective layer of aluminum oxide on the surface of aluminum, improving its corrosion resistance, durability, and even its aesthetic appearance.
Process
Anodization is a multi-step process that begins with the meticulous preparation of the aluminum piece and continues with the formation of an aluminum oxide layer
Firstly, the aluminum piece undergoes thorough cleaning to remove any impurities or grease from its surface. This step is essential to ensure optimal adhesion of the oxide layer.
Next, the piece is immersed in an electrolyte bath, typically an acidic solution containing salts. This solution serves as a reactive medium for the
anodization process.
An electric current is then passed through the piece,
with a positive electrode (anode) attached to the piece and a negative electrode (cathode) placed in the electrolyte. This configuration creates an electrochemical reaction that leads to the formation of the oxide layer.
Under the influence of the electric current, a chemical reaction occurs at the surface of the aluminum piece, resulting in the formation of a durable
aluminum oxide (Al2O3) layer. This layer firmly adheres to the aluminum surface, protecting it from corrosion and enhancing its mechanical strength.
Anodization is a surface treatment process that has a significant impact on the performance and appearance of aluminum. By transforming a raw piece into a material with a protective layer of aluminum oxide, anodization enhances durability, corrosion resistance, and the aesthetics of aluminum.
Process:
The hydroxyapatite plasma coating process begins with the creation of a unique environment. Firstly, an inert gas such as argon is heated to extremely high temperatures, generating a plasma. This step is crucial as it establishes the ideal conditions for coating formation. Simultaneously, hydroxyapatite powder is prepared and transformed into a suspension by mixing it with a liquid. This suspension is then injected into a plasma chamber, where it is exposed to extremely high temperatures using an electric arc or a similar energy source. This is when the action takes place. The intense heat causes the suspension to vaporize, creating a jet of molten hydroxyapatite particles. These tiny particles are projected at high speed onto the surface of the medical implant to be coated. Upon contact with the surface, they rapidly cool and solidify, forming a strong hydroxyapatite coating. This coating is not only extremely thin but also exhibits exceptional adhesion to the implant’s surface, promoting natural integration with body tissues. Hydroxyapatite Plasma Coating represents a major technological breakthrough in the field of medical implants. By providing a precise and efficient method for applying hydroxyapatite to implants, this process opens up exciting new possibilities in regenerative medicine and orthopedic surgery. It enhances implant biocompatibility, promotes strong fixation, and offers patients a better quality of life through more effective and safer medical devices. Hydroxyapatite Plasma Coating embodies our unwavering commitment to innovation in the medical sector, delivering solutions that make a real difference in patients’ health and well-being.

The titanium plasma coating process begins by creating an exceptional environment. Firstly, an inert gas such as argon is heated to extremely high temperatures, creating a plasma. This step is crucial as it establishes the necessary conditions for coating formation. Next, titanium or titanium alloy particles are introduced into this plasma. These particles undergo intense heating, causing them to melt and propel at high speed toward the surface of the piece to be coated. Upon contact with the surface, they rapidly solidify, forming a thin titanium coating. This coating is not only extremely thin but also exhibits exceptional adhesion to the implant’s surface, promoting natural integration with body tissues. Titanium Plasma Coating (Ti) embodies innovation in the field of medical implants. By providing a precise and efficient method for applying titanium to implants, improving implant biocompatibility, promoting strong fixation, and offering patients a better quality of life through more effective and durable medical devices. Titanium Plasma Coating is the result of an unwavering commitment to technological excellence, delivering solutions that truly make a difference in patients’ health and well-being.
Process:
This coating involves the application of two layers on the surface of a medical implant. The first layer consists of titanium (Ti), providing a rough and porous surface, which is beneficial for initial stability and integration with bone tissue. The second layer is composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp), closely resembling the mineral component of natural bone and highly biocompatible, promoting osseointegration, i.e., bone growth on the implant’s surface. This process represents the culmination of the company’s technological processes and allows for the perfect symbiosis in the market between your product and the operated patient.
