VACUUM ION PLASMA TECHNOLOGIES

VACUUM ION PLASMA TECHNOLOGIES, a combination of vacuum methods based on the use of ion beams and plasma streams of different density and energy for surface treatment of metal, glass, plastic, and other parts. These technologies are used to change the chemical composition of the surface layer (ion nitriding, ion implantation doping and ion carbonization), elimination of defects (cleaning with a glow discharge or ion beam), and application of coatings. Ion implantation and glow discharge methods are used for treatment of gas turbine engine blades at the UMPO Plant. Glow discharge is used for the treatment of flexible pipeline fittings made of stainless steel at Gidravlika Plant, and ignition plugs are produced at the UAPO Plant.
