IP Imitative Gold literally refers to the color similar with the real gold color while there is no real gold composition in the layer. The color of IP Imitative Gold can be measured by the B value ranging from 20 to 50.
IP Imitative Gold coating is essentially a nitride compound. Possible formation includes titanium nitride coating, titanium zirconium nitride coating, titanium nitride alloy coating etc.
IP Imitative Gold coating is widely used in watchcases and jewelries for decorative purpose and in hardware, mold, and tools for functional purpose. IP Imitative Gold coating used for decorative purpose is essentially a titanium nitride layer. IP Imitative Gold coating used for functional purpose is essentially a titanium nitride silicon layer. The thickness of IP Imitative Gold for decorative purpose ranges from 0.3μm to 1.0μm while the thickness is generally above 2.0μm for functional purpose.
The technique to manufacture the IP Imitative Gold coating includes vacuum ion coating, vacuum evaporation coating and vacuum sputtering coating.
Functional film products are widely used in CNC cutting tools, aerospace, automotive, moulds and mechanical parts, etc. Decorative film products are widely used in clocks and watches, jewellery, consumer electronics and sports equipment.
