Objective
Jet Vapour Deposition (JVD) is an original PVD method that exhibits outstanding properties: extreme productivity, operation in a moderate vacuum, robust and compact evaporator. It is estimated that JVD represents a technique with a high potential for the future industrial application of new types of coatings. To attain this objective, several steps are still necessary. The JVD performances have been evidenced in rather specific working conditions; its outstanding results must be confirmed in working conditions closer to current industrial ones. This project aims at making the bridge between the current state of JVD and the first implementation in a continuous pilot line. More precisely, the project intends to: study of products widening the range of possible coating elements by developing application oriented formula; to evaluate the compatibility with existing lines and to a first economic evaluation of investment and running costs.
