Abstract

PURPOSE:To color the TiO film formed by ion plating to plural colors with good reproducibility and to improve the ornamental characteristic thereof by adjusting the ratio of the electric power or current to be charged to a hollow cathode evaporating source and the flow rate of the gaseous oxygen in a vacuum chamber. CONSTITUTION:The inside of the vacuum chamber 1 is evacuated to a high vacuum and while gaseous Ar is passed from an introducing pipe 10 to a hollow cathode electron gun 7, the electric power is charged from a power source 9 for evaporation. Thermions from this electron gun 7 make electron bombardment of the evaporating material 5 in an evaporating vessel 6 to melt this evaporating material 5. In succession, a high voltage is impressed from an ion plating power source 11 to a substrate 13 and gaseous O2 is introduced from an introducing port 4 into the vacuum chamber 1. The vapor of Ti evaporating from the evaporating vessel 6 causes a reaction with O2 and the TiO film having good corrosion resistance and wear resistance is formed on the substrate 13. The ratio of the electric power or current to be charged to this evaporating source 8 and the flow rate of the gaseous oxygen in the vacuum chamber 1 is adjusted in order to adjust the colors of the TiO film formed on the substrate 13 and to obtain the sure reproducibility.
