A method of providing a threaded fastener with a multi-layered coating comprises the step of using a vapour deposition process to apply a multi-layered coating to a threaded portion of the threaded fastener, each layer of the multi-layered coating being formed from a coating material selected from the group comprising titanium, chromium, nickel, platinum, tantalum, and combinations thereof. 1. A method of providing a threaded fastener with a multi-layered coating , the threaded fastener comprising a threaded portion , the method comprising the step of:using a vapour deposition process to apply a multi-layered coating to the threaded portion, each layer of the multi-layered coating being formed from a coating material selected from the group comprising titanium, chromium, nickel, platinum, tantalum, and combinations thereof.2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vapour deposition process is a physical vapour deposition process claim 1 , or a chemical vapour deposition process.3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the multi-layered coating comprises between ten and seventy individual coating layers.4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , comprising the additional step of:performing ion implantation during the vapour deposition process, using ions from a material selected from the group comprising titanium, chromium, nickel, platinum, tantalum, and combinations thereof.8. The threaded fastener as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the multi-layered coating comprises between ten and seventy individual coating layers.9. The threaded fastener as claimed in claim 7 , wherein each layer of the multi-layer coating has a thickness in the range of 10 nm to 100 nm.10. The threaded fastener as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the multi-layer coating has a thickness in the range of 0.5 μm to 15 μm. This disclosure claims the benefit of UK Patent Application No. 1513385.3, filed on 30 Jul. 2015, which is hereby incorporated herein in its entirety.The present disclosure ...
