Hauzer is an expert in PVD coating (Physical Vapour Deposition) and PACVD coating (Plasma Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition). A short explanation of these coating technologies, which are all vacuum coatings, is given below:

• PVD Coating
• Arc Evaporation
• Sputtering  (including Magnetron Sputtering, UBM Sputtering, Closed Field Sputtering,  HIPIMS⁺ )
• PACVD Coating
• Nitrocoat Duplex Treatment

Hybrid Coating - more plasma coating technologies in one machine
In Hauzer Flexicoat  ^® equipment more plasma coating technologies can be combined in one vacuum coating machine, which makes it easy to produce multi-layer coatings with different plasma coating techniques. For example:

• A metallic coating, arc coating under layer as an adhesion layer, will be applied.
• Secondly a tungsten carbide PVD coating layer, will be applied with magnetron sputtering, resulting in increase of the hardness and friction reduction
• A DLC coating as a top layer will be applied, produced with PACVD coating technology to achieve a high hardness. This layer will not flake off, because of a slowly increasing gradient in the hardness

Upgrading an existing Hauzer system with new PVD coating and PACVD coating technologies is always possible, due to the flexibility of the equipment design.
