There are several methods for applying metallic coatings, including:
Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): This involves vaporizing the metal and allowing it to condense onto the substrate. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): In this method, gaseous metal compounds decompose on the substrate surface to form the coating. Electroplating: This electrochemical process deposits a metal layer onto the substrate using an electric current. Thermal Spraying: Molten or semi-molten metal particles are sprayed onto the substrate to form a coating.
