PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES OF VACUUM COATINGS: Present and Future Techniques

Abstract

A wide field of applications for vacuum coatings has been opened up by the development of techniques for producing thicker protective coatings and, in some cases, aluminium coatings may replace nickel‐chromium plating. The coating process and basic equipment are discussed herein and an account given of the properties and applications of commercially produced aluminium and cadmium coatings.
