A macroparticle filter device for cathodic arc evaporation, to be placed between at least one arc evaporation source and at least one substrate exhibiting at least a surface to be coated with material evaporated from a cathode of the arc evaporation source in a vacuum coating chamber. The macroparticle filter device includes one or more filter components that can prevent macroparticles emitted by the cathode during cathodic arc evaporation to arrive the substrate surface to be coated. The at least one component is provided as one or more flexible sheets that block the lineal way of the macroparticles from the cathode to the substrate surface to be coated. Further a method for utilizing the macroparticle filter device is presented.

Macroparticle filter device and method for use in cathodic arc deposition

The present invention concerns substrates coated with an MoSiBlayer, said layer comprising the T2 phase, and a method for the production thereof.

Mo&#x2014;Si&#x2014;B layers and method for the production thereof

A hard coating containing at least one layer including chromium, aluminum, tantalum and nitrogen as main components and a chemical composition (AlaCrbTac)N in which the following conditions are satisfied: a=x, (1&#x2212;c), b=(1&#x2212;x)&#xb7;(1&#x2212;c), 0.60&#x2266;x&#x2266;0.70, and 0.01&#x2266;c&#x2266;0.5. The layer has an X-ray diffraction peak intensity ratio of I200/(I200+I111)&#x2267;0.25. The application also relates to a reactive arc ion plating PVD process for making the hard coating.

(Al, Cr, Ta)N coating for enhanced high temperature resistance

The present invention relates to a method for coating AI-Cr-0 coatings with the help of a PVD-coating process. The PVD-coating process is performed with the help of Al and Cr comprising targets which are doped with Si. The doping of Si prevents the forming of oxide islands on the target during the reactive coating process.

Arc-deposited Ai&#x2014;Cr&#x2014;O coatings having enchanced coating properties

A wear resistant coating system including a tantalum-containing multilayered film having n A layers and m B layers, where n and m are integral numbers larger than I, deposited alternating one on each other. The multilayered film exhibits crystalline cubic structure, and is characterized in that the B layers include tantalum and the A layers exhibit a higher defect density than the B layers.
