Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a low temperature vacuum coating process that utilizes various deposition technologies to generate positively charged, highly energized metal ions that, in combination with reactive gases, produce coatings with a very strong bond and tailored physical, structural, and tribological properties.

PVD, CVD, TD, DCD coating and offering thin-film coating technology to fully optimize your tool or components performance.

Timeless beauty and flawless function protected by our advanced coating processes. Richkote™ incorporates the latest decorative PVD coating technology to produce standard BHMA finishes, as well as non-traditional and custom colors.

These coatings utilize the latest PVD deposition technologies and coating compositions, and have been engineered for use across a broad spectrum of applications: metal-cutting, metal-forming, injection molding, powder compaction, die casting, and much more.

Richter Precision Inc. is North America’s preeminent PVD, CVD and DCD coating company. Our Armor Guard and S-Line coatings represent the latest advancements in coating technology for the shooting and sporting industries.

Vacuum Heat Treating Optical Disc Mold Repair Coating, Material and Failure Analysis

As Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating processes were being introduced for commercial use in the early 1980’s, Hans Richter was quick to realize their potential.

In the case of our TiFusion™ process, a combination of plasma nitriding and PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is used to improve both the wear resistance and fatigue properties of coated substrates.

This is Richter Precision, Inc.’s proprietary name for our decorative PVD coating processes. Our processes incorporate the latest in “in-line” decorative PVD coating: the service, quality, technology, and color varieties provided by RPI are unmatched within the industry.

Replikote™ PVD coating processes have been engineered for deposition onto highly polished molds, tools and components without degrading the existing surface condition. Replikote™ employs technologies that dramatically reduce macro-particle inclusions, thereby avoiding any significant increase in surface roughness or loss of luster.
