Plasma Surface Engineering
Plasma Vapor Deposition & Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)
Solid target (metals, alloys, ceramics) vaporized by plasma, condensed on substrate (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites) to form thin films and coatings.
Applications: wear resistance, solid lubrication, optical & electronic layers
Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO)
High voltage electrochemical process where plasma discharges convert metal (Al, Ti, Mg, Zr) surfaces into hard, ceramic layers
Applications: wear resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal protection, biocompatibility
