Product Details
PVD coated stainless steel sheet refers to stainless steel that has been treated with Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology to create a durable, decorative colored surface. This process is widely used to produce high-end architectural, decorative, and industrial stainless steel panels with enhanced aesthetics and performance.
1. What is PVD Coating?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a vacuum coating process in which metal atoms are vaporized and deposited onto the surface of stainless steel, forming a thin, hard, and stable coating layer.
Key characteristics:
Environmentally friendly (no chemical pollution)
High adhesion and durability
Uniform and controlled color finish
2. PVD Coating Process for Stainless Steel Sheets
The production of colored stainless steel sheets involves several precise steps:
2.1 Surface Preparation
Before coating, the stainless steel sheet undergoes:
Degreasing and cleaning
Polishing (mirror, brushed, or matte finish)
Ultrasonic cleaning
This ensures:
Clean surface
Strong coating adhesion
Uniform color result
2.2 Vacuum Chamber Processing
The sheet is placed inside a high-vacuum chamber, where:
Air is removed to create a controlled environment
Target metals (such as titanium or chromium) are heated or ionized
Gas (e.g., nitrogen or acetylene) is introduced
2.3 Ion Bombardment and Deposition
Metal ions are accelerated toward the stainless steel surface
A thin ceramic-like coating forms through physical deposition + chemical reaction
Common coating compounds:
Titanium Nitride (TiN)
Titanium Carbonitride (TiCN)
Chromium Nitride (CrN)
2.4 Color Formation
Different colors are achieved by adjusting:
Gas composition
Temperature
Deposition time
Target material
3. Common PVD Colors for Stainless Steel
| Color | Coating Type | Visual Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | TiN | Bright, luxury finish |
| Rose Gold | TiCN | Warm decorative tone |
| Black | TiAlN / CrN | Deep matte or glossy black |
| Blue | Oxide-based coating | Modern metallic look |
| Bronze | Ti-based coating | Antique appearance |
4. Surface Finish + PVD Combination
PVD coating can be applied on different stainless steel base finishes:
| Base Finish | Final Effect |
|---|---|
| Mirror (8K) | High-gloss reflective color |
| Brushed (Hairline) | Metallic texture with color |
| Sandblasted | Matte colored surface |
| Etched / Embossed | Patterned decorative panels |
5. Advantages of PVD Coated Stainless Steel Sheets
5.1 Durability
High hardness (up to HV 1500–3000)
Excellent wear resistance
5.2 Corrosion Resistance
Enhanced protection compared to untreated stainless steel
5.3 Color Stability
UV resistant
Does not fade easily over time
5.4 Eco-Friendly Process
No toxic chemicals
Minimal environmental impact
6. Applications of Colored Stainless Steel Sheets
PVD coated stainless steel is widely used in:
Architectural cladding
Elevator panels
Interior decoration
Hotel and luxury retail design
Furniture and kitchen panels
7. Thickness and Substrate Considerations
PVD coating is typically applied on:
Thin sheets (0.5 – 3 mm) for decoration
Medium sheets (3 – 6 mm) for panels
The coating thickness itself is very thin:
Usually 0.1 – 0.3 microns, but extremely dense and durable
8. PVD vs Traditional Coloring Methods
| Method | Durability | Environmental Impact | Color Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVD Coating | Excellent | Eco-friendly | High-end metallic |
| Electroplating | Moderate | Chemical waste | Good |
| Painting | Low | Medium | Wide color range |
