Sputtering coating method is an advanced process developed in the late 1970s, it is in a special vacuum equipment, under the action of electric energy, a variety of metal or metal synthetic target is impacted by charged ions, made of multiple dense low-reflection high-heat insulation metal film layer, ordered evenly coated on the substrate surface. And the composite process is made of a variety of unique stable color, high transmittance selectivity, to ensure that the product has enough toughness, explosion-proof, heat insulation, UV99% resistance, long shelf life.

 

The following are common problems and solutions in sputtering film:

1, film gray black or dark.

● vacuum degree less than 0.67Pa; The vacuum degree should be increased to 0.13-0.4Pa.

● Argon purity less than 99.9%; Argon should be replaced with a purity of 99.99%.

● Air leakage of inflation system; The inflation system should be checked to eliminate air leakage.

● The film is not fully cured; The curing time of the film should be appropriately extended.

● The amount of gas discharged by the plating parts is too large; Should be dried and sealed.

 

2. The surface of the paint film is dull.

● Poor curing or deterioration of the film; The curing time of the film should be extended or the primer replaced.

● Magnetron sputtering time is too long; The construction time should be shortened appropriately.

● Magnetron sputtering film forming speed is too fast; Magnetron sputtering current or voltage should be appropriately reduced.

 

3, film color is not uniform.

● Uneven primer spraying; The use of primer needs to be improved.

● Film layer is too thin; The magnetron sputtering rate should be appropriately increased or the magnetron sputtering time should be extended.

● Fixture design is unreasonable; Fixture design should be improved.

● The plating geometry is too complex; The speed of plating parts should be appropriately increased.

 

4, wrinkle, cracking.

● primer spray too thick; The thickness of the spray should be controlled.

● Coating viscosity is too high; The viscosity of the coating should be properly reduced.

● Evaporation speed is too fast; The evaporation rate should be slowed down appropriately.

● Film layer is too thick; The sputtering time should be appropriately shortened.

● Plating temperature is too high; The heating time of plating parts should be appropriately shortened.

 

5, film surface watermarks, fingerprints and ash particles

● plated parts after cleaning is not sufficiently dry; Pretreatment should be strengthened.

● Splash water or saliva on the surface of the plating; Strengthen civilized production, operators wear masks.

● After primer, hand contact plated parts, leaving fingerprints on the surface; Do not touch the plating surface with your hands.

● Particulate matter should be filtered or dusted.

● Electrostatic dust removal failure or spray curing environment with particulate dust; The dust collector should be replaced and the working environment cleaned.
