For general surface plating, please refer to this technical Tips.

In this web page, we will introduce a method called ion plating.
This plating process technology, called ion plating, is used in the U.S. space program.
There are two major methods of plating process: wet plating and dry plating (vacuum plating), and ion plating belongs to the latter.
In the process, the material is evaporated or sublimated in a vacuum, and the evaporated particles are passed through the plasma.
Then, the positively charged object is attracted to a negatively charged object and deposited there.
Finally, the desired film is formed.
