INTRODUCTION
PVD coating has become increasingly popular in
various industries, from automotive to jewelry,
for its ability to enhance the durability and
aesthetics of products. However, a common
question that arises is, "Does PVD coating
scratch easily?" In this comprehensive article,
we will delve deep into the world of PVD
coatings, answering this burning question and
shedding light on the essential aspects of this
innovative technology.

FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO SCRATCH RESISTANCE

• Hardness
• Thickness
• Adhesion
• Surface Finish

5
HARDNESS
PVD coatings are incredibly hard, with a high
microhardness level. This hardness ensures that
they can withstand various mechanical stresses
without showing significant signs of scratching.
6
THICKNESS
The thickness of the PVD coating also plays a
role in its scratch resistance. Thicker coatings
provide additional protection against scratches.
7
ADHESION
Proper adhesion of the PVD coating to the
substrate is crucial. When applied correctly, PVD
coatings adhere tightly, reducing the likelihood
of chipping or peeling.
8
SURFACE FINISH
The surface finish can impact the scratch
resistance of a PVD coating. A smoother finish
can enhance resistance to abrasion.
