Deposition of single or multiple ultra-thin reflecting layers (e.g. silver) onto optical storage media. Reflective metallizing bounces the laser beam that reads and writes data on the medium.
Applying a thin metal coating to nonmetallic surfaces by chemical deposition or by exposing the surfaces to vaporized metal in a vacuum chamber.
(1) The application of an electrically conductive metallic layer to the surface of nonconductors. (2) The application of metallic coatings by nonelectrolytic procedures such us spraying of molten metal and deposition from the vapor phase.
Applying a thin coating of metal to a non-metallic surface. Metallizing can be done by chemical deposition or by exposing the surface to a vaporized metal in a vacuum chamber.
Applying a thin coating of metal to a non-metallic surface. See vacuum metalizing.
A process of coating a surface with a layer of metal by spraying, vacuum deposition, dipping, plasma jet, cementation, etc.
The process of applying an extremely thin metal coating to a non-metallic substrate.
Metallizing is the general name for the technique of coating metal on the surface of non-metallic objects. Because a non-metallic object tends to be a poor electrical conductor, the object's surface must be made conductive before plating can be performed.
