       Vacuum evaporation of pvd coating machine is the process of evaporating or sublimating the material to be filmed in a vacuum, so that it is precipitated on the surface of the workpiece or substrate. (The metal coating in vacuum evaporation is usually an aluminum film, but other metals such as chromium can also be deposited by evaporation; the thickness is about 30um.)

      It is to heat the raw material to be formed into a thin film in an evaporation container in a vacuum chamber to make its atoms or molecules vaporize and escape from the surface, and form a vapor stream incident on the surface of a solid (called a substrate or substrate) to condense to form a solid thin film. Regarding the shape of the evaporation source, it can be made into different forms and different evaporation source materials according to the properties of the evaporation material and the wettability of the evaporation material.
       There are three layers of vacuum evaporation: primer layer (6~12um) + coating layer (1~2um) + topcoat layer (10um). Wipe the impurities and dust on the surface of the substrate with a cloth to improve the spray yield. The base material is assembled on a special hanger to be fixed on the assembly line, and the appearance and function are masked according to the design requirements. Since the base material is a plastic part, air bubbles and organic gases will remain during injection molding. The surface of the plastic is not flat enough, and the direct vapor deposition has poor adsorption and is not smooth. Applying a layer of primer will improve the adhesion of the coating and make the surface smooth and flat. . The pendant is assembled in a vacuum container, heated, and evaporated.

1. Advantages
The surface has a good metal texture and is delicate. Compared with water electroplating, the color can solve the problem of seven colors, such as magic blue and flashing silver lamps;
A wide range of substrate materials can be selected, such as PC, ABS, PMMA, (only ABS, ABS+PC can be selected for water plating).
Through indium tin plating, a semi-transparent effect can be made, and the light can be emitted from the product.
Do not pollute the environment

2. Disadvantages
Evaporation targets are limited by the melting point, and those with too high melting point are not easy to use.
pvd coating machine vacuum evaporation can not be UV oil, and its adhesion is poor. To ensure the adhesion of vacuum evaporation, special spraying treatment is required later.
