摘要 |
A manicure implement (20) is coated with a corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant material (130), such as zirconium nitride, titanium nitride, di-titanium nitride, and titanium carbonitride. Deposition is preferably accomplished by a cathodic arc apparatus (100) using linear deposition sources (70) with simultaneous heating and rotation of a manicure implement (20) substrate relative to the deposition sources (70).
