Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CVD different from PVD?
CVD uses chemical reactions at high temperatures to form a coating, making it ideal for complex geometries and internal surfaces, unlike line-of-sight PVD methods.
What industries commonly use CVD coatings?
CVD is widely used in aerospace, semiconductor, medical, and high-temperature tooling industries due to its durability and precision.
How thick are CVD coatings?
Thickness can range from 1 to 5 microns, depending on the material and application, making it suitable for high-performance environments.
Can CVD coatings withstand extreme temperatures?
Yes. CVD coatings are known for excellent thermal stability and can perform in temperatures exceeding 500°C, depending on the material.
Is CVD safe for medical or food-contact parts?
Yes, certain CVD coatings meet biocompatibility and food-safety standards when processed and applied correctly.
