System for making bright aluminium parts

Coating a stretched elastic body.

With elastic, particularly rubber-elastic bodies, the problem arises that an applied coating becomes fissured upon later deformation and may easily be abraded. According to the invention, the surface to be coated, for example, an elastic implant, is held in a stretched state during the deposition of the layer, such as a metal. Then, in a state of normal use, the produced layer forms a kind of shrunken skin which remains continuous even if the body is later deformed.

Coating an organic article by physical vapour deposition with a chromium layer between the article and the coating

A method of applying a coating by physical vapour deposition onto an article of organic material 10, wherein a chromium layer is deposited on the article prior to deposition of the coating to form a diffusion barrier for water coming from the article. Once a thin layer of chromium 12 has been deposited, the article will have a conductive surface and so a bias voltage may be applied to the article. The resulting ion bombardment produces ion etching of the first layer, promotes bonding of ions subsequently deposited on the first layer 16, results in chromium ions being deposited within the first layer and some chromium ions 14 penetrating the first layer completely and becoming lodged in the surface layer of the article, improving the adhesion of the chromium later. A CrN interface 18 may be applied before depositing the coating, typically applied in the form of a stack of coatings 20,22, eg CrN-CrC, CrN-CrZrN-ZrN or CrN-CrC-ZrCN.
