Vacuum sputtering is a physical vapour deposition (PVD) process in which a target material is bombarded by energetic ions within a high-vacuum chamber, ejecting atoms that condense onto aerospace substrates to form thin, adherent coatings; it encompasses DC, RF, and magnetron sputtering techniques applied to deposit metallic, ceramic, and compound films for wear resistance, corrosion protection, and functional surface engineering.
