PLATIN'® CONVENTIONAL RANGE
Standard vacuum deposition delivers high performance for versatile use on steel and carbide parts and tooling.
These coatings, which have been in production for several years, guarantee high reproducibility, low costs and short lead times.
La température standard de réalisation des dépôts est de l’ordre de 450 °C mais des solutions basse température < 250 °C sont possibles afin de prendre en compte la compatibilité du traitement thermique préalable (température de revenu des aciers).
For every coating in the conventional PLATiN® range, there's a matching higher-performance coating for applications with longer service life and higher productivity.
Standard coatings
Today, many cutting tools, molds, medical devices and decorative parts are coated with these vacuum deposits.
For example, titanium nitride was the first deposit to be developed on an industrial scale, and is still the most widely used deposit today.
Thanks to an interesting combination of properties and its attractive color (gold), this coating has rapidly established itself in many fields: conventional machining, material shaping by stamping and injection molding
, biomedical, decorative...
Decor functions
Their characteristic colors (gold, silver, gray, bronze...) are highly appreciated for their decorative function, and can replace gold or hard chrome coatings to great advantage (watchmaking, jewelry, decorative elements in industrial buildings).

Our FAQs
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.
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.
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.
Vacuum deposits are classified into several categories: anti-wear, friction, decorative and biocompatibility. The applications are therefore very varied: automotive components, aerospace, tooling, cutting tools, medical devices, decorative parts...
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.
Incorporate carbon below the surface of the steel part to improve fatigue and wear resistance on the surface, while maintaining good core mechanical properties.
