minium Alloy Coatings by Sputtering process
for Cd Replacement

Photographs of Sputtering System and Al Coatings:

Pure Aluminium coatings do not Salient Technical Features
provide cathodic protection to steel The coating provides cathodic
in normal water. Therefore, Al alloy protection to steel both in normal and
coatings are sputter deposited saline water. Red rust resistance for ≥
on high strength steel using RF 1000h in salt spray, Humidity resistance
magnetron sputtering process. The > 500h. The coating reveal excellent
deposition process was optimized resistance for hydrogen embrittlement
and the developed coatings and ideal for Cd replacement
exhibited similar behaviour as that
of electroplated Cd. Level/Scale of Development : TRL-3

are prone to hydrogen embrittlement RF/DC Magnetron Sputtering System
so as to replace toxic Cd plating. Target
industries are aviation sector.
