The radially expanding plasma jet generated in a Hot Refractory Anode Vacuum Arc (HRAVA) was used to deposit thin chromium and titanium films on glass substrates. The arc was sustained between a water-cooled cylindrical cathode and a non-consumed cylindrical tungsten anode separated by a 10 mm gap,

Conventional metallic film deposition techniques are compared with the hot refractory anode vacuum arc (HRAVA) developed in the last decade. In the HRAVA process, the anode is heated by the arc, and a dense plasma plume of cathode material is formed by re-evaporation of cathode material from the ano
Copper films deposited by a radial expanding plasma plume from a tungsten hot refractory anode vacuum arc were investigated. The arc was sustained between a consumed water-cooled cylindrical copper cathode (30 mm diameter) and a cylindrical anode (32 mm diameter, 30 mm height) that was heated by the
In order to provide sufficient wear protection on tools, which supports to increase productivity in the manufacturing processes, the substrates can be coated with different hard material layers. High hardness is one important thin film property to get an optimal wear protection of tools, but if the
