    摘要: The invention relates to a method for operating a pulsed discontinuous spark discharge. The spark is fed via a capacitor. Between the pulses there are switched-off time intervals during which no spark current flows. Within the pulses, that is to say during the switched-on time intervals, the supply of charge is stopped upon a current threshold being reached and is restarted, with the result that subpulses occur within the pulses. The time intervals and subpulses are chosen according to the invention such that when the capacitor is switched on again, the spark discharge readily ignites again.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for removing carbon layers, in particular ta-C layers, from substrate surfaces of tools and components. The substrate to be de-coated is accordingly arranged on a substrate support in a vacuum chamber, the vacuum chamber is charged with at least one reactive gas assisting the evacuation of carbon in gaseous form and a low-voltage plasma discharge is created in the vacuum chamber to activate the reactive gas and hence assist the required chemical reaction or reactions to de-coat the coated substrate. The low-voltage plasma discharge is a dc low-volt arc discharge, the substrate surfaces to be de-coated are bombarded substantially exclusively with electrons and oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen are used as reactive gas.

    摘要: In these investigations, an attempt has been made to correlate the deposition parameters of the reactive cathodic arc evaporation with processes at the surface of the composite Al—Cr targets and the nucleation and phase formation of the synthesized Al—Cr—O layers. The oxygen partial pressure and the pulsed operation of the arc current influence the formation of intermetallic phases and solid solutions at the target surface. The nucleation of the ternary oxides at the substrate site appears to be, to some extent, controllable by the intermetallics or solid solutions formed at the target surface. A specific nucleation process at substrate site can therefore be induced by the free choice of target composition in combination with the partial pressure of the oxygen reactive gas. It also allows the control over the oxide island growth at the target surface which occurs occasionally at higher oxygen partial pressure. This hypothesis is supported by the X-ray diffraction analysis of the layers as well as of the target surface.

    摘要: Method for producing poorly conductive and in particular nonconductive layers on at least one work piece by means of a vacuum-coating process in which an electric arc discharge is activated between at least one anode and the cathode of an arc source in a reactive-gas atmosphere, whereby on the surface of a target that is electrically connected to the cathode either none or only a small outer magnetic field is generated that extends essentially perpendicular to the target surface for assisting the evaporation process, the degree of recoating of the target surface by other coating sources is less than 10%, and the magnetic field is generated with a magnet system that encompasses at least one axially polarized coil with a geometry similar to the circumference of the target.
