KRAFTONWEG OY

KRAFTONWEG OY is a company that combines research and experimental production. We focus on the development of novel functional metal coatings and new deposition methods, including the creation of materials that meet our customers' requirements. Our original coatings, based on α-β Ta, Ti, ZrTa, TiCu, Nb, and other modifications, fundamentally differ from traditional Arc-PVD coatings. We have successfully developed new types of coating materials from non-separated plasma-clustered flow, featuring: - thickness of 20-150 microns with a high deposition rate of 1 micron/min; - a homogeneous structure that is primarily, or nearly, amorphous; however, depending on deposition parameters, it can also be fine-grained and/or micro-crystalline. The technology has demonstrated remarkable flexibility in obtaining various structures and compositions of the material, including continuous, gradient, and multi-layered coatings. Additionally, α-β Ta can be obtained or is of interest in the form of thin sheets detached from the substrate. Using our method, we produced a thick Nb coating and measured the Tc - Critical temperature transition to the superconducting state. This indicates that our coating method is highly suitable for the production of superconducting Nb coatings. The niobium coating can be applied to ceramics, stainless steel, and copper, and can be produced in the form of separate films.
