    As a welder who does a lot of TIG welding I've always theorized that a small percentage of the metal I was welding was evaporating. If I had dipped my tungsten electrode even the tiniest amount the metal on the tip would continually grow larger over time even though my tungsten never made contact with the workpiece again. I've been warned about hexavalent chrome gas and wonder if that is the gas that carries the metallic particles that form on my tungsten

    That process is known as Sputtering Deposition. It works best with two planar magnetrons, one on each side of the chamber and the part placed in the middle on a rotating stand. This ensures even coating. There are also orbital magnetrons for smaller parts, like silicon wafers, bottle tops etc. The deposition process has taken huge leaps in the last 30 years from Evaporation technologies. I worked closely on the deposition process for 6 years and now make substrate (target and chamber) materials. Very cool process to be around and be a part of.

    My Dad used to work for STC / ITT back in the 1970s in the plant in Paignton, Devon. Now long gone...
    He made the film used in film capacitors. He operated a huge version of this that put a layer of aluminium on a mylar film substrate.
    This beast of a machine made huge rolls of film a metre across that laid down longitudinal tracks, the width depending upon the size of the capacitor being produced, of aluminium that were then slit into strips, rolled tight & then the electrodes were attached and the whole thing compressed and coated with it's outer packaging.
    The metaliser machine was temperamental to say the least so you can imagine what our xmas decorations were at home! Aluminium coated mylar was incredibly light & floaty & the rolls of film in a huge variety of sizes festooned my house every xmas.
    Plus, that high vacuum grease worked a treat keeping the seawater out of my fishing reels!
    Your video helped me appreciate exactly what my Dad was fighting with back then. To keep that mylar sheet moving inside a huge high vacuum chamber to tight tolerances must've been a struggle! He'd come home still cursing but with a workbag full of high tech kite making material! 😎

      It would wear off extremely quickly, and we have plenty of corrosion resistant steels that are great for knives. Any metal can become extremely sharp. The implant things to consider in a knife steel is edge retention, corrosion resistance and how easy it is to, when it eventually goes dull.

    I work at a large company which does exactly that. Try using a pure titanium cathode, fill the tube with a little Nitrogen and heat everything up to about 200°C while coating and you get a super nice gold color. If you polish the surface you coat beforehand it'll look like polished gold.

    Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition. Look it up. It’s pretty cool stuff. Based on the parameters, there is an expected thickness to be deposited on the substrate material over a given period of time (deposition rate). This is also one of the techniques used to make solid state electronic devices.
