Performance with Cathodic arc evaporation technology

Cathodic ARC deposition is PVD process in which applying of a high current and low voltage on the surface of a target causes formation of cathodic spot with extremely high temperature (15 000°C) leading to vaporize material from a target. The arc has an extremely high-power density resulting in a high level of ionization (30-100%), multiple charged ions, neutral particles, clusters and macro-particles (droplets). Surface of the coatings is less smooth (size and number of droplets can be decreased using filtered ARC cathode). Deposition rate is very high (several micrometers per hour).


Smooth and high-performance coatings by fsARC cathode

In today’s fast-paced industries, precision, performance and reliability are critical to staying ahead of the competition. Whether you work in automotive, aerospace, tooling or any other high-demand sector, the coatings applied to your products can mean the difference between success and failure. Enter the game-changing fsARC cathode technology, an innovation that delivers smooth and high-performance coatings.


The power of Speed and Control

the heart of the fsARC cathode’s innovation lies in its ability to rapidly adjust the electromagnetic field offering a level of flexibility that other systems simply can’t match. This adjustability means you can fine-tune the coating process with ease, adapting to different materials and product requirements.

Resulting coatings are smoother and of a better quality as compared to typical arc coatings containing substantial number of droplets. That improve surface durability, reduce wear and optimize performance in challenging conditions. Whether you need coatings for tools or components, fsARC cathode ensures a uniform layer that improves the quality and extends the life of your products.

Erosion profile controlled by magnetic field configuration provides high utilization of target material. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports your sustainability goals, making the fsARC cathode an environmentally-friendly choice for your business.

Focusing effect of the magnetic field in the space between the target and the coated parts increased the plasma ionization level what leads to better quality of coatings

The high current density connected with magnetic oscillations allows the splitting of the arc, resulting in fewer and much smaller droplets.

Cutting tool hard PVD coatings

The cutting characteristics can be improved by using Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) coatings.To satisfy customers demand for achieving highly efficient machining, STATON developed coatings together with geometry design to enhance wear resistance.
