Titanium Nitride/PVD Coating

2005

Hi,

We are looking for a way to coat small stainless steel tools and parts with different colours such as rainbow, black, purple, blue etc. Does anyone know a low cost method or machine that produces good results?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Talk to Balzers, they are probably the world's top vacuum deposition company and they have a huge range of systems that give a miriade of colours. They have an internet site.

Isoflux is another alternative. They make smaller tool coaters.
