What is PVD Coating?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is an advanced, eco-friendly process that applies thin, durable coatings to various materials by vaporizing metals or compounds in a vacuum. This method creates a strong bond, enhancing surface properties and providing excellent resistance to corrosion, wear, and oxidation, making it ideal for automotive, tool, and electronic components.
PVD coating also offers customizable finishes, from glossy to matte, with a variety of colors, combining both functionality and aesthetics. It’s perfect for industries like aerospace, medical devices, and decorative products, providing smooth, uniform coatings with reduced environmental impact compared to traditional methods.
KingStar Mold utilizes PVD technology (through cooperative suppliers) primarily in the scenarios of plastic molds, die-casting molds, and CNC prototypes, enhancing the durability and appearance of these components.

Various Options for PVD Coating
| PVD Coating Type | Description | Typical Applications | Cost | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Nitride (TiN) | A hard, gold-colored coating that enhances wear resistance and corrosion protection. | Cutting tools, automotive parts, medical devices, watches. | Moderate to High | Long-lasting, 5-10 years |
| Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) | Similar to TiN but with a darker, gold-like finish, offering good hardness and corrosion resistance. | Aerospace components, decorative parts, industrial tools. | Moderate to High | Long-lasting, 5-10 years |
| Aluminum Titanium Nitride (AlTiN) | High-temperature resistant coating that improves cutting performance, especially in high-speed machining. | Cutting tools, molds, automotive parts. | High | Very durable, 5-10 years |
| Chromium (Cr) | Offers excellent hardness, corrosion, and wear resistance with a shiny, reflective finish. | Decorative items, medical instruments, industrial machinery. | Moderate | 3-5 years |
| Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) | A dry lubricant coating that reduces friction and wear in moving parts. | Bearings, gears, automotive parts, aerospace components. | Moderate | Medium-term, 3-5 years |
| Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN) | A coating with high hardness and wear resistance, offering a dark, grayish finish. | Cutting tools, aerospace components, automotive applications. | High | Long-lasting, 5-10 years |
