Pink copper PVD coatings

From old pink to bright pink

Our PVD coatings make it possible to obtain a variety of pinks, from rose gold to copper pink or a patina pink.

The part's surface finish contrasts the final color and adds depth, brilliance or shine, depending on your project requirements.

These coatings are particularly appreciated in the watchmaking and jewelry markets. They sublimate all your components and products with modernity and elegance.

In addition to their intense color, our pink coatings have particularly interesting properties:

- Wear and scratch resistance thanks to hardness exceeding 3000 HV (Vickers hardness)

- Biocompatibility

Features and benefits of copper-pink pvd coatings

Pink PVD coatings offer a number of aesthetic and functional advantages

dazzling color

Personalize your image

PVD coatings offer a complete palette of pinks, with different finishes.

Durability

Improve the lifespan of your products

Thanks to their functional properties, coatings protect your products and components from scratches and daily wear and tear.

eco-responsibility

Choosing sustainable processes

The use of PVD technology avoids the use of pollutants, with no CO2 emissions or discharges harmful to the environment and human beings.

    Our FAQs

    What is vacuum deposition?

    Vacuum deposition is a surface treatment used to deposit a material or alloy on a mechanical part.

    The use of vacuum technology ensures a perfectly clean, non-polluting process.

    It is not subject to REACH legislation.

    How do I choose the right deposit method?

    The deposition method depends above all on the nature of the coating to be deposited and the substrate.

    If the substrate cannot be heated to high temperature, the deposition must be carried out using low-temperature technology.

    If the coating to be deposited consists of a solid element (metal or graphite target), a physical process such as PVD is used. If the coating consists of a gas or liquid, a chemical process such as CVD or PACVD is used.

    What are the advantages of PVD technology?

    This process greatly increases resistance to wear, abrasion, friction and corrosion. As a result, component life is greatly extended.

    Standard thicknesses are of the order of 3µm and deposition is carried out on finished parts.

    What's the difference between PVD and PACVD?

    PVD is physical vapor deposition. The element to be deposited is obtained by evaporation or sputtering via a physical process. PACVD is plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition. The element to be deposited is obtained from chemical reactions. Plasma enables this chemical reaction to take place at lower temperatures.

    What do I need to know when consulting a customer or placing an order for vacuum deposits?

    Nature of steel or carbide, if steel treated, please specify the treatments carried out. Desired characteristics (hardness), quantities of parts per shipment and per year, drawings of the part and specifications. If possible, how the part will be used and its final purpose.

    press-hardened part
    Focus on press hardening and its advantages
    Press-hardening serves a very specific purpose: to prevent part deformation during the rapid cooling phase induced by quenching. This method improves the performance of steels by giving them a martensitic structure, without the need for reworking. Designed for large production runs of parts with complex geometries, [...]

    Focus on martensitic hardening and its advantages
    The aim of martensitic hardening is to bring out a specific constituent in steels, called martensite, to make them harder and more resistant to wear and mechanical stress. It is one of the oldest known heat treatments of metals, and is still used today, thanks to its effectiveness and the [...].

    Annealing and tempering: what are the differences and what are the different types of annealing?
    Annealing and tempering are among the heat treatment techniques applied mainly to steels (copper alloys, aluminum and titanium too). Both methods involve heating parts to precise temperatures, which vary according to the process, but do not serve the same purpose. There are two main types of annealing [...].

    A closer look at step quenching and its advantages
    Staged quenching is based on cooling in stages. It includes a traditional initial heating phase, to reach a given temperature, but requires controlled cooling to be divided into several stages. This process offers a number of advantages, including a reduced risk of breakage or deformation, compared to quenching with [...].

    Why choose glide varnish as a complementary treatment?
    Bonded coatings are an excellent way of improving the coefficient of friction of metal parts. Applied, possibly following a heat treatment operation, it ensures that the parts slide better together and reduces the risk of seizing. This technology is used particularly in the construction and screw industries, but also in the [...]
