| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a method whereby a metalized coating is applied to the surface of composite, carbon fiber, syntactic foam, polymer foam or other non-conductive material in a vacuum chamber utilizing a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes. There are at least three coating methodologies which may be employed to achieve the desired metallic surface characteristics. Through the application of any of the three coating processes, the metallically coated substrate, work piece, will become electrostatically charged. Once applied, this coating will facilitate the next process which entails the application of electrically charged powder coat products (more commonly referred to as Powder Coating) to the surface of the metalized composite substrate. The resulting finish enhances the composite substrate enabling its use in a myriad of new applications and processes.
