General Magnaplate's proprietary MAGNAGOLD (PVD)
process produces a dense, smooth, ultra-hard
surface finish with a rich, gold color. Unlike
conventional Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD),
which requires temperatures high enough to
anneal steel and can produce distortion, the
MAGNAGOLD process employs heat as low as 400F.
This permits the coating of a wide variety of
materials without loss of hardness or
distortion. The substrate's metallurgical
properties are not affected by the process.
