Cathodic Arc Sources Commonwealth Scientific Corp. Alexandria, Va. Commonwealth Scientific Corp. has developed the CAF-38, a cathodic arc metal plasma source with a magnetic plasma filter. The patented filter eliminates the particles and droplets commonly associated with ca- thodic arc deposition and allows deposition of mirror- smooth hard coatings. Coatings of chromium, chromium nitride, titanium nitride, titanium carbonitride, hard amorphous carbon, and numerous other materials can be used for hard tool coatings, machine cutting tools, and knife-edge surfaces. These coatings exhibit good adher- ence, high-film density, high hardness, and are corrosion resistant. Circle 104 on reader Information card Sputtering Targets Handy & Harman Fairfield, Conn.
