Physical Vapor Deposition Laboratory
Picatinny Arsenal, NJ
The PVD Research Facility can deposit refractory metal coatings on flat samples as well as cylindrical samples up to 12 in. long. The facility is currently being used to develop thick, refractory metal coatings for large caliber gun barrel sections. These coatings are subsequently characterized using a rigorous coatings characterization protocol. A novel “lock-lock” design has been integrated into this facility in order to perform thin film depositions with rapid turnaround. The “load-lock” design, coupled with our excellent characterization capabilities, enables the rapid optimization of coating properties including adhesion. This facility can also be utilized to perform PVD research for the aerospace, automotive, pressure vessel and piping, and chemical processing industries.
