ISO/TC 107/SC 9 - Physical vapor deposition coatings

This document specifies the technical requirements for TiAlSiN thin films deposited by magnetron sputtering. This document is also applicable to the deposition of TiN, TiAlN or TiSiN thin films.

This document specifies the requirements for the contact angle measurement of metallic hydrophobic thin film coatings deposited by the physical vapor deposition (PVD) method, including thermal evaporation, sputtering and ion plating. This document does not apply to non-metallic coatings, paints or varnishes.

This document specifies the performance and test methods of decorative physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings on kitchen and sanitary ware fittings. This document is applicable to performance evaluation for decorative PVD coatings on kitchen and sanitary ware fittings.

This document specifies the designation and the characterization methods of the decorative metallic coatings of the products for radio wave transmissive application. The designation consists of the transmission loss of the radio wave, the frequency band of the radio wave under consideration, the lightness and hue of the parts, as well as the main material and manufacturing process of metallic coatings. The characterization methods consist of the determination of the transmission loss of radio wave with specific frequency band and the evaluation of lightness and hue which represent the colour and appearance.

This document specifies a method and requirements for plasma nitriding and follow-up PVD hard coatings intended for use in cold-work moulds. This document provides the necessary information, such as the original structure of nitriding steels, process requirements, surface quality and adhesion of duplex PVD coatings, to create an optimal combination of high performance.

This document specifies the substrate conditions and testing of the modulation period (including the principles for low-angle X-ray methods, the requirements of the coatings, the requirements for X-ray measuring apparatus, the calibration of apparatus and samples, and the testing conditions and calculation process) of nano-multilayer coatings by low-angle X-ray methods including X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and glancing incident X-ray diffraction (GIXRD).

This document specifies the evaluation standard of the composition, structure and properties of multi-layer hard coatings by common physical vapor deposition (PVD), indicating a vacuum deposition method that produces a material source by evaporation, sputtering or related non-chemical ways.

ISO 22779:2006 specifies requirements for aluminium coatings applied by physical vapour-deposition techniques to mild steels, low-alloy steels, high-strength steels, corrosion-resisting steels, aluminium alloys, titanium alloys and other materials, as appropriate.

ISO 22778:2006 specifies requirements for high-purity cadmium coatings produced by physical vapour deposition on iron, steel, and other substrates. It provides test methods to determine that the requirements have been met, and a method for designating the cadmium and chromate conversion coatings and other supplementary treatments.
