    摘要: The vacuum vaporization process is controlled using recoil force of the evaporating particles as the measurable variable by measuring the rate of evaporation. The vaporizer vessel is arranged in the vacuum chamber with the aid of force transducers, and the signal emanating from the force transducers can be used to control, for example, the electrical energy to heat the vaporizing material, the beam deflection or the fill level in the vaporizer, with the sensors not coming into contact with the vapor. Vacuum vaporization processes, particularly for vapor deposition of functional coatings on tools and sheet substrates, can be controlled with this method and device.

The process includes sputtering of at least two targets made of carbon in a reactive atmosphere with a pulsed energy feed. During a pattern period of the pulses all targets (magnetrons) are once switched on as an anode and at least one target is switched as an anode at all times Various embodiments include detection and limitation of the "microarcs"; executing of regeneration processes according to fixed predetermined time intervals for at least 5 seconds. In one embodiment a microarc is detected on a magnetron and if a next pulse-off time is more than a selected time period away, then the magnetron is connected to a positive pole of the power supply. In another embodiment of the invention a pulsed negative voltage is applied to a substrate being sputtered by connecting the substrate to a negative pole of a pulsed power supply having a positive pole connected to a positive pole of a power supply for a magnetron. In another embodiment of the invention there is an electrode insulated from an installation mass which is connected to at least one positive pole of a power supply during the periodic pausing sputtering of substrates for regeneration.

    摘要: Existing devices for vacuum coating substrates having different shapes, either in continuous or hatch facilities, are equipped in such a way that several coatings are applied after a coating process. The slide bearings are to be coated with several coats and the coating materials used and the conditions related thereto require the use of several coating techniques. This relates inter alia to conveyance parameters. Existing facilities fail to meet these requirements. According to the invention, such a device comprises several aligned processing chambers. Slide bearings which are held together by positive and non-positive fit in tempered carrier bodies are displaced through said chambers comprising pretreatment, atomization and evaporation chambers using a conveyance system adapted to this process. A tempering device for the carrier bodies is connected upstream from the coating track. Corresponding inlet and outlet channels enable air-to-air conveyance.

    摘要: The invention discloses a method for coating foil comprised of nickel or a nickel alloy by sputtering a layer comprised of a metal compound on the foil in a vacuum. The foil is treated in an argon plasma with a pressure of 1031 3 to 10−2 millibar, for a variable time with a variable rate, and with energy of the plasma ions. A chromium oxide layer or a layer containing chromium oxide is successively sputtered by means of a reactive magnetron atomizing of at least one target comprised of chromium or an alloy containing chromium. The layer is sputtered with at least one atomization source in an argon-oxygen mixture with a pressure of 10−3 to 10−2 millibar. The operating point is constantly maintained in given boundaries and the foil is bonded in a defined thermal contact with a thermal buffer when the foil is being coated. The foil is coated until a given interference color pertaining to an interference of a first or second order is reached on the foil.
