title: Physical vapor deposition coatings
scope: Standardization of the specification of vacuum evaporation, magnetron sputtering, arc ion plating, other new physical vapor deposition methods or their combination as an alternative to conventional electro/electroless plating.
  <p>Standardization of the characteristics of protective and decorative metallic (such as silver, copper, chrome, titanium and zirconium) or non-metallic coatings (such as nitrides and oxides, excluding paints and other organic coatings as well as diamond-like carbon films).
  </p><p>Standardization of the characteristics of inorganic nanocomposite and/or multilayer and multiphase coatings (such as multi-components nitrides and carbides of CrAlN-base, TiAlN-base, TiCN-base, MeN/SiNx, as well as boride of TiB2 and ZrB2) for functional performance (friction and wear, corrosion and oxidation, fatigue and mechanical properties).
  </p><p>Standardization of testing and inspection methods for physical vapor deposition coatings and pretreatment methods for metal substrates prior to the deposition.</p>
