Vacuum Metalizing is the process of evaporating metals (most commonly aluminum) inside a vacuum chamber to achieve a thin uniform metalized layer. Thermal evaporation otherwise known, as vacuum metalizing, is the most common PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) process used to apply metal alloys under vacuum. Vacuum metalizing has many uses including; EMI/RFI shielding, decorative metallic and chrome like finishes, highly reflective coatings, heat shielding, vapor barriers, and many more. The different stages of the Vacuum Metalizing process are explained to using the navigation bar to the left.
