BS 4479-9:1990

This standard BS 4479-9:1990 Design of articles that are to be coated is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.220.99 Other treatments and coatings

This Part of BS 4479 gives recommendations for design features to be followed in the application of coatings by low pressure or vacuum deposition to various substrates.

An outline of the three main processes involved is also given, together with some guidance on operational conditions.

NOTE 1 It is recommended that Part 1 of BS 4479 be read in conjunction with this Part. Part 1 includes a list of British Standards relating to processes covered by BS 4479 but not necessarily referred to in each Part.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Design of articles that are to be coated by low pressure and vacuum deposition and illustrates preferred and deprecated design features. Describes three main processes applicable to coating by low pressure and vacuum deposition i.e. vacuum deposition, ion plating and sputtering.
