  • the invention also relates to a vehicle part produced by the method, preferably a vehicle wheel.
  • the objects to be coated are arranged in a vacuum chamber opposite one or more targets, which consist of the material or a component of the layer to be deposited.
  • a gas discharge is ignited between the target and the objects in such a way that a plasma is formed and particles are dusted off the target.
  • Metals, metal alloys or metal compounds are used as target materials.
  • metal compounds can also be separated by reactive magnetron sputtering, by sputtering a metal and additionally introducing a reactive gas, such as O 2 , N 2 , into the vacuum chamber.
  • the layers can be produced in different colors by appropriate selection of materials, possibly in conjunction with a process gas.

  • pulse magnetron sputtering enables stable, safe and reproducible process control, which is not possible with other coating processes due to the frequent occurrence of electrical arcing.
  • the layer composition and thus the color of the gloss layer can be set within wide limits and kept constant by means of purely electrical means, namely the setting of the pulses at the break times, for the targets of the two different metals.

  • This topcoat layer based on acrylates or polyurethane or epoxy resin or of an organic-inorganic compound, preferably Ormocer, consists of a thickness of 0.5 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m. It was found that only the combination of two known process steps of applying lacquer in succession with the dusting of a layer in a vacuum between the two process steps creates a layer system which meets the high demands on the optical impression and the corrosion protection.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the gloss coating takes place in such a way that the surface of the parts especially their areas to be coated, before applying the anti-corrosive, smoothing lacquer base coat mechanically smoothed and then to apply a layer of chromate.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the method also consists in the top layer being made of lacquer - as the last of the layer system - on the high-gloss layer in a CVD process to apply.
  • Magnetron sputtering turns layers into optically decorative ones Properties manufactured using conventional painting processes in terms of color and gloss cannot be produced.
  • the colors that can be produced in a wide range are shiny metallic, i.e. there is no metallization through appropriate pigmentation imitated.
  • the color palette ranges from dark and light silver to gold and reddish brown to towards violet.
  • the titanium-aluminum-nitrogen system has proven to be particularly advantageous proven. A large number of colors can be produced using this system alone. It but are also other systems, e.g. Zirconium aluminum nitrogen and titanium zirconium nitrogen, usable for the production of further colors. Other shades are due to copper or brass reachable.
  • the high-gloss layer is sputtered using magnetron sputtering simple and inexpensive. It is a good all-round coating of the three-dimensional, complicated shaped parts, which can be achieved with other vacuum coating processes, such as electron beam evaporation, arc evaporation, evaporation from boats or Ion plating is unreachable.
  • the relatively sensitive high-gloss layer is also protected against large loads and environmental influences, for example attack by alkalis and acids.
  • the elasticity of the relatively thick lacquer base and top coat layer contributes significantly to mitigating high mechanical influences such as stone chipping and abrasion.
  • the varnish base layer provides corrosion protection for the parts to be coated and roughness of the surface, such as those forged or cast light alloy wheels, are compensated for. This creates a smooth surface for the subsequent coating with the high-gloss layer and improves the adhesive strength of this layer.
  • additives to the transparent topcoat layer it is possible to additionally adjust the gloss of the gloss coating, so that several levels of gloss are achieved in accordance with aesthetic and fashion requirements.
  • Further advantageous configurations of the invention consist in that the surface to be coated is mechanically smoothed before the lacquer base layer is applied.
  • the adhesion of the high-gloss layer is improved if a pretreatment is carried out by heating and / or etching in an inert or reactive gas plasma or the application of an adhesion promoter layer before the application of this layer.
