What is PVD?
PVD typically refers to Physical Vapor Deposition. It is a thin film deposition technique where a solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and then deposited onto a substrate. Common uses include applying coatings for wear resistance, corrosion protection, optical properties (e.g., anti-reflective coatings), and decorative finishes on a wide variety of materials like metals, ceramics, and plastics.
