The invention provides arc ion plating for composite filtering of a combined magnetic field and a lined bias conical pipe and a stepped pipe, and belongs to the technical field of material surface treatment. The arc ion plating aims at solving the problems of contamination of large particles in a multi-stage magnetic field filtering device to thin films and losses generated in the plasma transmitting process. The arc ion plating involves a bias power supply, an arc ion plating target source, an arc ion plating target source power supply, a multi-stage magnetic field device, a multi-stage magnetic field device power supply, a lined bias conical pipe and stepped pipe combination device, a lined bias conical pipe and stepped pipe combination device power supply, a movable coil device, a movable coil device power supply, a bias power supply kymographion and the like. Thin film deposition is carried out, wherein the device is connected, a system is started, when the vacuum degree in a vacuum chamber is smaller than 10-4 Pa, working gas is introduced, a plating power supply is started, the energy of arc plasma is adjusted through the bias power supply, by means of the lined bias conicalpipe and stepped pipe combination device and the multi-stage magnetic field device, large particle defects in the arc plasma are eliminated, the transmission efficiency of the filtering device is improved, losses in the vacuum chamber are reduced, process parameters are set, and thin films are prepared.
