Vapor Deposition Processes: Protecting Metal Surface

Ms. Appaji Gowda Shwetha

Abstract

A group of surface coating methods known as vapor deposition technologies are used to deposit thin layers of materials onto substrates. A solid, liquid, or gas material is converted via these procedures into a vapor phase, which is then condensed onto a substrate to create a thin film. Electronics, optical, aerospace, and automobile industries all frequently use vapor deposition processes to provide coated surfaces with the desired qualities. The principles, varieties, and applications of vapor deposition methods are discussed in this chapter. It emphasizes how crucial precise control over deposition parameters is to achieve the desired film properties and examines the benefits and difficulties of using various approaches. The vapor deposition methods' adaptability and a broad variety of applications in contemporary industrial and technological breakthroughs are also highlighted in the chapter.
