Abstract

The invention describes a device for evaporating material by means of a vacuum arch discharge with an automatically consumed cathode and an automatically consumed hot anode in an underpressure chamber and a process for increasing the usefull life of electrodes in material evaporation by means of a vacuum arc discharge with a hot automatically consumed anode and a cold automatically consumed cathode, a process for striking a vacuum arc discharge with a cold automatically consumed cathode and a hot automatically consumed anode and a process for controlling the degree of ionisation of the vapour impinging on an object to be coated in surface coating by means of a vacuum arc discharge with a cold automatically consumed cathode and a hot automatically consumed anode.
