N2 - A physical vapor deposition process - known as ion vapor deposition - is used by USAF Air Logistics Centers to deposit aluminum as a replacement for cadmium coatings, because of the toxicity and regulation of cadmium. However, IVD aluminum coatings do not provide equivalent corrosion protection, or lubricity when used on fasteners. An atmospheric pressure, chemical vapor deposition method is being evaluated to provide coatings with acceptable performance. The properties of APCVD aluminum coatings on high-strength steel substrates are presented and compared to those for IVD aluminum, as well as electroplated aluminum coatings. The advantages and disadvantages of the different types of coating are discussed.
