Magnetron Sputtering Deposition
High-quality thin film deposition
Magnetron Sputtering is a PVD technique
It is low temperature (<250°F) and extremely uniform, perfect for applications that require specific crystalline structures, specifically those of composites, such as MoS2 or TiB2.
MoS2
A popular coating we provide with magnetron sputtering is Molybdenum DiSulphide (MoS2). This extremely low-friction coating is grown out of the surface for maximum adhesion.
With its incredible bonding strength and extremely low friction, MoS2 can dramatically increase part life.
Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) is a solid lubricant with an exceptionally low coefficient of friction (~0.01–0.03) and high operating temperature (450°C), thanks to its unique crystal structure. Its strong x-y bonds and weak z-direction bonds allow MoS2 layers to slide effortlessly, but natural MoS2 often has random orientations that hinder performance.
Using advanced techniques, Surface Engineering Technologies LLC deposits MoS2 in a uniform orientation, creating a durable, ultra-low-friction coating.
This innovative composite coating works in humid environments and excels in critical applications, from satellites to racing engines.
It can also be paired with treatments like Titanium Nitride or Heavy Metal Ion Implantation for premium performance.
