Vacuum Aluminum Vapor Deposition
The Ipsen ion vapor deposition vacuum coating system provides an acceptable alternative to cadmium plating for the aerospace and automotive industries. Ipsen's Ivadizer® plating equipment uses ion vapor deposition to apply a dense, high-performance coating of aluminum with superior adhesion and thickness uniformity. Since the Ivadizer furnace creates a plasma-assisted coating, it provides excellent throwing power, extending the deposit readily into part cavities. Even temperature-sensitive parts can be coated safely and effectively using the ivadizing process. Our basic models, which include a rack coater for large components and a barrel coater for small, high-volume parts, provide:
