Abstract:
1. A continuous vacuum deposition method, comprising: providing a substrate; providing a continuous vacuum deposition machine comprising a depositing chamber, the depositing chamber comprising a series arrangement of a first vacuum chamber, a second vacuum chamber and a third vacuum chamber, each vacuum chamber having a cathodic arc emitting source located therein; loading the substrate in the continuous vacuum deposition machine; and depositing a coating on the substrate by cathodic arc deposition using the cathodic arc emitting source, depositing the coating comprising: directly depositing a bonding layer on the substrate in the first vacuum chamber, the bonding layer being a zirconium layer; directly depositing a protection layer on the bonding layer in the second vacuum chamber, the protection layer being a zirconium carbon-oxide layer; directly depositing a color layer on the protection layer in the third vacuum chamber, the color layer being a titanium nitride-carbon layer.
