FORTIPHY™ XVD

FortiPhy XVD goes beyond conventional cathodic arc technologies by utilizing magnetic fields to increase ionization efficiency. This increases plasma density while accelerating the enhanced plasma collectively by means of an electromagnetic force. Phygen’s accelerated plasma process results in a large number of ions with a velocity within a specific range bombarding the substrate during coating deposition. Intense bombardment by ions of moderate energy ensures that crystalline configurations with weaker bonding can be minimized while preserving stronger bonds. As a result, Phygen coatings feature stronger adhesion, superb crystalline structure, denser coating with fewer defects and exceptional mechanical properties.
