• Vacuum metalizing, also known as vacuum deposition, is the process of physically depositing metal materials onto plastic components within a vacuum chamber. It's a form of physical vapor deposition (PVD) that allows the formation of metal layers on components or substrates, achieved by evaporating metals like aluminum or copper onto non-metallic base materials.
• Metal evaporation occurs within a sealed chamber with a heat source, reaching temperatures of approximately 1500°C (2700°F) under high vacuum conditions. Reduced pressure in the vacuum chamber lowers the boiling point of the metal, causing the liquid metal to transition to a gaseous state. The metal vapor adheres to the substrate, creating metal coatings or decorative layers on films or fabrics. Vacuum metalizing was first used in the 1930s to produce reflective coatings for lenses, expanding to various optical components, streetlights, and automotive headlights. Vacuum metalizing is also used for aluminum coatings, decorative materials, and surface-modifying functional films, including imitation gold plating for cases, creating metal textures on plastics, and coating tools for various mechanical applications.
• Furthermore, as global environmental concerns increase, vacuum metalizing, as an environmentally friendly surface treatment, is gaining attention. This surface treatment is conducted almost entirely in a vacuum chamber, preventing the release of metal vapor into the air.

In addition, vacuum metalizing is essential in the aluminum wire manufacturing and custom parts manufacturing.
