The key difference between PVD and CVD is that the coating material in PVD is in solid form whereas in CVD it is in gaseous form.
PVD and CVD are coating techniques, which we can use to deposit thin films on various substrates. Coating of substrates is important on many occasions. The coating can improve the functionality of the substrate; introduce new functionality onto the substrate, protect it from harmful external forces, etc. so these are important techniques. Although both processes share similar methodologies, there are few differences between PVD and CVD; therefore, they are useful in different instances.
PVD is physical vapour deposition. It is mainly a vaporisation coating technique. This process involves several steps. However, we do the whole process under vacuum conditions.
CVD is chemical vapour deposition. It is a method to deposit solid and form a thin film from gaseous phase material. In CVD, we are coating material on a substrate material. To do this coating, we need to send the coating material into a reaction chamber in the form of vapour at a certain temperature. There, the gas reacts with the substrate, or it decomposes and deposits on the substrate. Therefore, in a CVD apparatus, we need to have a gas delivery system, reacting chamber, substrate loading mechanism and an energy supplier.
PVD and CVD are coating techniques. PVD stands for physical vapour deposition while CVD stands for chemical vapour deposition. The key difference between PVD and CVD is that the coating material in PVD is in solid form whereas in CVD it is in gaseous form. As another important difference between PVD and CVD, we can say that in the PVD technique atoms are moving and depositing on the substrate while in the CVD technique the gaseous molecules will react with the substrate.
Moreover, there is a difference between PVD and CVD in the deposition temperatures as well. That is; for PVD, it deposits at a relatively low temperature (around 250°C~450°C) whereas, for CVD, it deposits at relatively high temperatures in the range of 450°C to 1050°C.

End Mills are used for making shapes and holes in a workpiece during milling, profiling, contouring, slotting, counterboring, drilling, and reaming applications. They are designed with cutting teeth on the face and edge of the body and can be used to cut a variety of materials in several directions. Find out more about the types of mills MSC offers and all the applications in which…
Today I talk about how to choose cemented carbide milling cutters. For milling stainless steel, except for end mills, some end mills and hard alloys as milling cutter materials, other types of milling cutters are made of high-speed steel, especially tungsten-molybdenum series and high-vanadium high-speed steel, which have good results. The durability can be 1 to 2 times higher than W18Cr4V. Cemented carbide grades suitable for…
Cemented carbide milling cutter refers to a milling cutter made of cemented carbide. To understand cemented carbide milling cutters, you must first know what cemented carbide is. The cemented carbide is mainly composed of high-hardness, refractory metal carbides (WC, TiC) and micron powders, with cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) , Molybdenum (Mo) as a binder, powder metallurgy products sintered in a vacuum furnace or a hydrogen…
The safety precautions for using carbide CNC blade cutting tools are as follows 1. The cemented carbide material has a high specific gravity, so when the size and quantity are large, special attention should be paid to it and should be treated as a heavy object 2. Carbide cutting tools will produce higher cutting temperature, dust and mist during grinding. Dust or mist can cause harm…
The materials of industrial CNC carbide cermet inserts have complex chemical composition. The CNC carbide inserts material is made by adding secondary carbides (such as WC, Mo2C, TAC and Co Ni) as binders in tic tin matrix. The commercial cermets have high hardness and strength and toughness comparable to cemented carbide. With the continuous improvement of cermet properties, it has become a very popular metal cutting tool material. It is…
