COMPOSITE WIRES FOR VAPOUR DEPOSITION

摘要

A method of manufacturing a coated, such as metallised, substrate, comprising placing a substrate to be coated within a deposition chamber and evaporating a wire (1, 11) within the chamber to coat the substrate, wherein the wire (1, 11) is provided as a composite wire (1, 11) comprising an outer sheath (2, 12) and an inner core (3, 13), at least the outer sheath (2, 12) comprising a metallic material.
