Process

CERTESS®NITRO SD is applied using lateral rotating cathode technology in a PVD (physical vapor deposition) process. Material is vaporized from a solid source in the form of atoms/molecules and then transported in the form of a vapor through a vacuum, low pressure gas/plasma to the substrate where it condenses.

  • Steel
  • Stainless Steel
  • Titanium
  • Alumiunium
