Problems solved by technology

However, the biggest problem with the use of filtration technology is that the deposition rate drops significantly (generally less than 2μm / h)
[0005] Many existing coating products (such as automobile piston rings) not only require high hardness (greater than HV1000) and density (no particle pollution) of the coating, but also many products require coating thickness of 50-100 microns. Conventional arc ion plating needs to be plated for 10-20 hours. Due to particle pollution, the surface is rough when the coating thickness is relatively thick, which cannot meet the requirements of wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
In order to meet the above requirements, the growth rate of arc ion plating technology must be above 20 microns / hour, and the existing conventional arc ion plating equipment cannot meet the requirements of thick coating due to the low deposition rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a hollow cathode arc ion plating coating system, which belongs to the technical field of thin films. Background technique [0002] Ion plating technology was first proposed by D.M.Mottox in 1963. With the continuous development of its technology, the main ion plating technologies currently used include: active reactive evaporation ion plating (ARE), hollow cathode ion plating (HCDIP), induction heating ion plating, arc ion plating (AIP) and so on. Each of these methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, but arc ion plating is the most successful application. After entering the 1990s, ion plating technology has made great progress. It has replaced various other types of ion plating and has become the most widely used production process for functional coatings. [0003] Arc ion plating is a method of igniting an arc under vacuum and using the generated low-temperature plasma to deposit a coating. It can significantly i...
